Rejoice in the Lord alway
Now does the glorious day appear
Let mine eyes run down with tears
They that go down to the sea in ships
Jehova, quam multi sunt hostes mei
Henry Purcell’s gift for setting English words to music shines in the moving and emotional anthem ‘Let mine eyes run down with tears’. In contrast, the powerful ‘Jehova, quam multi sunt hostes mei’, a Latin psalm setting, features a bold bass solo, probably written for a favoured singer at the court of Charles II, John Gostling.
The programme begins with the elegant and uplifting ‘Rejoice in the Lord alway’, often called the Bell Anthem, and continues with a selection of works that reveal Purcell’s dramatic and heartfelt approach to sacred music.
