  • Henry Purcell's music for the Funeral of Queen Mary was written for the March 1695 funeral of Queen Mary II, and sets a text taken from the Book of Common Prayer, the standard service book of the Church of England. Scored for SATB chorus, four trumpets and basso continuo, it employs chromaticism to a degree that was unusual in English music of the time, and shows Purcell at his simplest and most moving, almost note-against-note without contrapuntal elaboration, unfolding with dignity and pathos.

    There was me, That is Alex, and our three droogs, that is Pete, Georgie, And Dim.
    And we sat there, at the korova milkbar, wondering out rasoodocks what to do with the evening. The korova milkbar sold milk plus, milk velocet, milk synthesmic, or drencrum, which is what we were drinking. This would sharpen you up and get you ready for a little bit of the old- ultra-violence

    Really I have just heard a marvellous page: bravi, bravi, bravissimi!!! Furthermore I would avail myself of the occasion in order to express my wholehearted thanks to CZcams: I am allowed by them to obtain at least some knowledge of pages written by composers [in this instance Henry Purcell] of whom in the best of instances I would know just the name but no more... And similar considerations have to be extended also to the actual performers: without CZcams I would never have gained any acquaintance of Singapore Symphony [bravi!! bravi!! bravissimi!!!] nor of Ms. Sofi Jeannin, their [charismatic] female director.
    With my best wishes!!
