Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O Lord of hosts, my King, and my God.

Maybe we should just make Wednesdays "Purcell Day"
I have this on a CD and was listening to it the other day while I was making the tea in the morning and when the opening line "How long wilt thou be angry, O Lord?!" caught my attention, my EvilTrad brain responded, "As long as you keep singing in English, duh!"
But it was really just a knee-jerk thing.
Phenomenal! Truly inspired text painting.
ReplyDeleteBut could I please just say how utterly annoyed I was that at the very second I clicked on the video, a freight train came through outside my window? ACK!
Anyhow, than you for posting this.
