So amazing to know we are hearing this wondetful piece that played in 1695..hearing it today is timeless

Music expresses the ineffable. Written more 300 years ago this still has the power to move us and like a time machine, connects is with the past. Man may hath but a short time to live but his music is everlasting. Long after we are all dust, those yet unborn will feel what we do today listening to this.

Heard this music in the movie, "A Clockwork Orange." But it stands by itself as beautiful.

Outstanding....even after Centuries. BRAVO from Acapulco!

If you were hearing this in 1695, you would have thought it was one of the most moving pieces of music ever composed. It's still powerful even today, of course, but if you were listening to it with no possible knowledge of Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, etc., you would be in awe. It's not just his magisterial control of voices (for which he was justly famous); it's also the way he maintains the solemnity of the occasion without becoming lugubrious.

Indeed this is the most moving piece of music ever with of course the "miserere mei, deus" I got goosebumps all over my body when i listen to those

Nana Nanananère I think this piece is much more complex and moving than Allegri's Miserere.

i was mainly speaking about the control of voice as you say, of course Purcell did an original 30 mins work while allegri's is always the same repetitive but wonderful music

then if you were in the 90 to today you say it was from A Clockwork Orange or Conkers Bad Fur Day

EXCELENTE and poetic!

In honor of the Queen, who passed away on this day, we came here to listen, to mourn, to reflect. The Lord giveth, the Lord taketh, may the Lord bless us all. God save! God save! God save...

This goes out to Jeff Beck . The virtuoso musician who died on Tuesday.

delighted to find this on KZread. particularly poignant as have friend with terminal cancer diagnosis. so thank you for putting this where i can find it.

I. March - 0:09 II. Man that is born of woman - 2:27 III. Canzona - 6:17 IV. In the midst of life we are in death - 8:00 V. Canzona - 13:57 V. Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts - 14:50 VI. March - 17:13

My gosh this is absolutely beautiful. I stumbled on it while noodling around on KZread. I will have to get more of Purcell's work.

What a wonderful piece. I think I heard the opening melody in Stanley Kubrick's movie, "A Clockwork Orange."

There used to be a record with this on one side and Faure's Requiem on the other. A wonderful and well matched combination if you're after an afternoon of serious lamentation!

Beautiful

Great, classical Anglican Church music..

Sublime

amazing

The various performances of this absolute masterwork are interesting: following the conductor's major interests (emotion , solemnity, voices & choirs, trumpets or orchestra, ...), we hear various tempi and thus some differences in the perception of this work. Anyway, thank you for sharing this marvel again... :-)

Why are people amazed that a piece of music from 1695 is still appreciated today, as if humanity is advancing with age?!

I still wonder what Purcell would have gone on to have composed had his life not been cut short?

OH MY GOD CONKER

Where can I buy this recording?

I played this before for solo and ensamgle

Was Purcell the organist at the Abbey at the time? The words, of course, being from the Book of Common Prayer. He would have played at many funerals with a choir of men. as it still is!

This interpretation sounds too slow to me. I wonder if Purcell gave indications on the tempo that should be used when playing this beautiful work.

Realmente estremecedor. Greetings from Andorra 🇦🇩

es tan sad como hermoso

Do you have the rights to this version? I'd like to use some of it in a documentary.

Almost too strong!

Maiestas Eius Elisabeth II in pace requiescat. In paradisum deducant eam angeii; in eius adventu suscipiant eam martyres et perducant eam in civitatem sanctam Ierusalem. Chorus angelorum eam suscipiat et cum Lazaro quondam paupere aeternam habeat requiem.

Don't reference clockwork orange. That's basic.

Fallout 2 RP abbey.

Bad audio

Still hauntingly beautiful, even after being raped by Kubrik. I would love to have this played at my funeral.
