Ode on St. Cecilia's Day / The Married Beau
Album by Henry Purcell & English Chamber Orchestra & Charles Mackerras & Festival Strings Lucerne & Rudolf Baumgartner
Ode on St. Cecilia's Day / The Married Beau is a collection of vocal and theatrical works by English Baroque composer Henry Purcell, composed in the 1690s. The music blends choral and solo vocal writing with continuo and orchestral textures typical of late 17th-century English Baroque, functioning both as a ceremonial ode and as incidental theatre music that reflects Purcell's central role in Restoration-era dramatic and ceremonial repertoire.
