Essential Purcell
Henry Purcell (1659-1695)
Welcome, welcome, glorious morn Z338
Be welcome then, great Sir, to constant vows Z324
Oh, fair Cedaria, hide those eyes Z402
Hear my prayer, O Lord Z15
When I am laid in earth 'Dido's lament' Z626
Let mine eyes run down with tears Z24
The Sparrow and the gentle Dove Z325
If music be the food of love Z379a
Rejoice in the Lord alway 'The bell anthem' Z49
Hosanna to the highest Z187
Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts Z58c
Fairest isle, all isles excelling Z628
Mark how readily each pliant string Z334
Sound the trumpet, 'til around Z323
She loves and she confesses too Z413
O how blest is the Isle to which Caesar is given Z343
Remember not, Lord, our offences Z50
Now that the sun hath veiled his light 'An Evening Hymn' Z193
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin Z232
With rapture of delight dost see – Hail! bright Cecilia, Hail to thee! Z328
