By John E. West. By Henry Purcell. Classical. Choral Score. Novello & Co Ltd. #MUSNOV281001. Published by Novello & Co Ltd. (BT.MUSNOV281001).Hear My Prayer, Oh Lord, manifests Purcell's genius not only in his unerring setting of each line, but in addition of challenging intervals and discordant moments to what is a deceptively simple melodic line. Purcell's affecting anthem Hear My Prayer, Oh Lord, was writing in 1680, approximately, and is likely to be part of a larger unfinished work. The autograph manuscript is held in the Cambridge Fitzwilliam Museum, from which John E West has edited this rendering of the work.
