- Filmed live from the London International Festival of Early Music 2021. Mezzo-sopranos Rebecca Leggett and Elisabeth Paul take over this famous (traditionally countertenor) duet, with artistic director Toby Ward (chamber organ), Richard Gowers (harpsichord) and Rachel Kay (cello).
Arguably the most famous movement from Purcell's 1694 Ode for Queen Mary's Birthday: Come Ye Sons of Art, Sound the Trumpet involves no trumpets at all, but the singers imitating trumpets underpinned by one of the most famous and lively modulating ground bass patterns in the repertoire.
The text is attributed to Nahum Tate, poet laureate at the end of the 17th century, who is remembered for writing the Christmas carol, 'While Shepherds watched'.

The best music never dies...
Breathtakingly beautiful. Boy, could I hear those trumpets
The shear joy of Purcell music is shown by the obvious enthusiasm of these two singers. Their voices complement each other
beautifully. Thank you for sharing.
Another amazing song. Sometimes I send this to a person on Facebook when they have accomplished something or have a birthday
Henry Purcell , grandissimo autore di Didone e Enea , ci offre questo meraviglioso concerto "Sound the Trumpet" , cantato da due bravissime cantanti che , con arte e grande musicalità, fanno risuonare , con domanda e risposta, "the Trumpet" . Un bellissimo concerto che merita un grande applauso, da condividere con gli strumentisti dell'orchestra.Grazie
One of the best version I ever heard. Magnificent ❤️
Какой замечательный вокал! Легко, воздушно и свободно льется прекрасная мелодия. Спасибо. ( гор.Киев. )

Sound the trumpet!
Sound the trumpet till around
You make the list'ning shores rebound.
On the sprightly hautboy play
All the instruments of joy
That skillful numbers can employ,
To celebrate the glories of this day.
One of the best version I have ever heard. Magnificat ❤️
wow! This deserves a million views!
Why ?
@@Egt1976 …. If you cannot hear the beauty of this performance, then this not for you … sadly.
@@Jasper7182009Clearly, Purcell deserves his niche alongside the Baroque giants Bach, Handel and Vivaldi.
Please keep this coming, such a brilliant performance.
I much appreciate these nice voices
Perfect voices. Excellent ensemble.
Beautiful ❤️. Classy ladies, God bless them always 🙏
This is absolutely wonderful!
Beautifully performed, truly celebrating the glories of this day.
Wonderful talent developed and shared.
I much prefer this version to any sung by countertenors.
Our fabulous mezzos approve of this!
Understandable. I do find it fun to hear the contrast.
ok james supton
Ok, however this version particularity boring!if you look at the original key, it is quite possible that the vocalists would not be able to sing it! What is wrong with the male voice?
@@MrMarcvus There's nothing wrong with the male voice - it's just that you seldom hear a really good counter tenor.
Absolutely charming and wonderful.
Love this performance. How well you perform this work. It's so wonderful that you are all having fun and enjoying the performance. Thank you.
Just beautiful
Love it!
Bravo!
That was beautiful!
Remakable control and accuracy.
Very nice :)
Well done! Beautiful
😀🥰
BRAVA!🎉🎉
Well done Toby Young.
Sigh.
Simply amazing!! Excellent!
I only recently learned that a "haughtboy" is a kind of musical instrument similar to oboe.

Yeeeessss!
🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🔭
Sencillamente Monumental
Fantastica❤
Love it ! I follow you ❤
Está es la primera versión de gran obra
I loved it...beautiful voices. I have one question (and it might be my equipment) but it seemed one singer slightly louder than the other (left v right) but of course this could be an element of the score itself.
Hi Geoff! A touch of where the mics are positioned, and a touch of where the parts sit in the voices, as you suggest above.
У той, что слева голос выше и звонче. У той, что слева голос и ниже, и глуше. Вот и всё.
Tão lindo
sound the trumpet... but, where is the trumpet?
It’s in the writing! 😍
Good performance, best I've heard is Alfred and Mark Deller, check them out, sublime
The feminine transforms everyrhing including music
We certainly enjoy our mezzos singing this piece!
@@EnsembleProVictoria It was a pleasure to listen to and compare to other good versions.
Where are the trumpets?
They’re written into the vocal writing! 🤓
