Purcell’s gift for setting English words to music shines in the emotional anthem ‘Let mine eyes run down with tears’, which contrasts with his powerful setting of the Latin psalm ‘Jehova, quam multi sunt hostes mei’.
This programme also features the uplifting anthem ‘Rejoice in the Lord alway’, alongside other works that reveal Purcell’s dramatic and heartfelt approach to sacred music.
