composed by Henry Purcell, John Blow, Pelham Humfrey, William Croft

With one singer to a part and very sparing use of continuo, this 2006 Virgin recording of Divine Hymns by Henry Purcell, William Croft, John Blow, and Pelham Humfrey is both lively and severe.

The usual fare at Vauxhall Gardens was the English-language pop tunes of ...

This is a reissue of a delightful 1982 LP that should reside on the reference shelf of any keyboard-music enthusiast. Richard Burnett, a British pianist, opened his collection of historical keyboard instruments to the public as a museum (called Finchcocks) in 1977, and shortly thereafter recorded this album as a demonstration of some of the ...

Psalms for the Spirit

Psalms for the Spirit (2006) more music like this

composed by Bob Chilcott, Edward Bairstow, George Mursell Garrett, Henry Thomas Smart, Herbert Howells, Hubert Parry, John Goss, Matthew Larkin, Noel Edison, Samuel Wesley, Thomas Attwood, William Croft, William Mathias

Anglican Psalm settings serve a specific liturgical function that makes them ideal for the listener seeking a serene, untroubled, low-profile experience of religious music. They don't have the flashiness of anthems, which are generally written for the offertory, where they are the primary focus of the congregation's attention and can be musical ...

Fantasy in Blue: Purcell & Gershwin

Fantasy in Blue: Purcell & Gershwin (2001) more music like this

performed by Fuoco e Cenere, Rinat Shaham (mezzo-soprano)
composed by George Gershwin, Henry Purcell, William Croft

Did the world need to hear Gershwin played by a viol consort, with an occasional recorder tootling along? If so, then why not Purcell accompanied by a jazz piano? The idea of combining the two composers in one performance is an attractive one, and the mix of vocal and instrumental pieces by each composer here is intelligently grouped. Arranger and ...

Canadian Brass has joined forces with the Elmer Iseler Singers, one of Canada's premiere choral ensembles, and with organist John Tuttle in performances of some of the most famous Protestant hymns, including one new piece written for the CD.

The first volume of Joseph Payne's survey of early English organ music is divided between late Renaissance pieces (both sacred and secular), most of which were compiled in the Mulliner Book by 1560, and Baroque works with a continental flavor written after the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660. To illuminate these dramatically different styles ...
