SOUL OF THE WORLD
Henry Purcell/edited by Holland Jancaitis

This glorious chorus comes from Purcel's Ode Hail, bright Cecilia, A
Song for St. Cecilia's Day, 1692 and is equally effective with choirs of all
sizes.

The text praises music as the soul of the world which civilizes chaos and
brings the various parts of our primitive universe together into one perfect
harmony!

The writing demonstrates Purcell's exceptional skill in painting the text
with his composer's brush. The singing should be fresh, vibrant and full of
strong contrasts.
