Henry Purcell, considered by many to be the finest composer of his day, is one of the Baroque period's greatest composers. Born in 1659 in London, he only lived to be thirty-six years old. He was the organist at Westminster Abbey for many years. This piece, written for the birthday of Queen Mary in 1694, is from the multi-movement work Birthday Ode for Queen Mary. The work includes other well-known odes, such as Sound the Trumpet and Strike the Viol. Originally for four voices with orchestra and written in the key of D Major, this arrangement for SA voices is in the rich key of Ab major, so that the melody can be sung by the soprano voice. The piano accompaniment is also arranged to be played with ease by a competent pianist of any experience. I believe this arrangement offers an authentic feel of the Purcell original, yet offers treble choirs more accessibility to this wonderful piece. I hope you enjoy singing this magnificent work by one of the Baroque's greatest composers.
