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 (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 ...

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 ...

This collection of English trumpet music from Henry Purcell's time, and from the decades after the death of that short-lived composer, will sound familiar to those who have heard the instrumental suites extracted from Purcell's theatrical music.
