Anthems

Album by Henry Purcell & Deller Consort & Alfred Deller

Anthems is a collection of sacred choral works by English Baroque composer Henry Purcell, composed in the late 17th century. These liturgical pieces exemplify English Baroque style through expressive harmony, contrapuntal writing and contrasts between solo (verse) and full-choral textures, and they occupy a central place in the English church-music tradition and in Purcell's output.
First released: 1975
