Royal Academy of Music, The Dukes Hall, NW1 5HT , [Venue Details]Henry Purcell’s sacred works are paired with ones by his predecessors, offering a rich portrait of church music in transition. Purcell crafted music for Anglican liturgy that, though less elaborate than his symphony anthems, is no less dazzling.
He mastered both traditional style and a modern voice shaped by Blow and Humfrey. His skill in the former shines in his settings of morning canticles, echoing anthems of Gibbons and Weelkes. A striking example of his modern flair is ‘Welcome to all the pleasures’, a St Cecilia’s Day ode featuring one of his most extraordinary overtures.
- GIBBONS - O clap your hands
- PURCELL - Welcome to all the pleasures
- GIBBONS - Hosanna to the Son of David
- WEELKES - Hosanna to the Son of David
