Composed by Attributed to Anne Boleyn. Arranged by Scott S. Stewart. Classical,Renaissance,Traditional. 16 pages. Scott S. Stewart #639193. Published by Scott S. Stewart (A0.1033880).“O Death, rock me asleep”: The lament of Anne Boleyn, 2nd wife of King Henry the VIIIth, is essentially a Tudor-era poem inspired (perhaps attributed) by/to her last days in the Tower of London while awaiting execution. She was convicted on charges of high treason, adultery and incest, and sentenced to be beheaded. The authorship of this dirge is entirely speculative; yet William Shakespeare quotes it, and Henry Purcell uses the same funeral ostinato a 100 years later. A nod to Voices of Music (Early Music Ensemble) and their gutsy scholarship regarding the B-flat/B-natural controversy. This arrangement is for a 4-part SATB ensemble with keyboard accompaniment. Performance time: 5:53+.
