Come Ye Sons of Art / The Bell Anthem / My Beloved Spake - Anthem

Album by Henry Purcell & Alfred Deller & Deller Consort & London Oriana Choir & Oriana Concert Orchestra & Mark Deller

This release is a collection of sacred choral works by the English composer Henry Purcell, composed in the 1690s. The music exemplifies Purcell's late-Baroque choral style, combining contrapuntal church polyphony with soloistic vocal writing and rich harmonic colour, and reflects his role writing for the English chapel and court in the final years of his career.
First released: 1962
