Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary / Anthems

Album by Henry Purcell & Sir John Eliot Gardiner & Gustav Leonhardt

Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary / Anthems is a collection of choral and ceremonial works by English composer Henry Purcell, composed and first performed in 1695. The music features sombre, stately choral writing supported by strings and organ with characteristic Baroque contrapuntal textures, and it represents part of Purcell's late sacred and ceremonial output within the English Baroque tradition.
