Music For The Funeral Of Queen Mary (Henry Purcell) | Singapore Symphony Chorus
Henry Purcell’s music for the Funeral of Queen Mary was written for the March 1695 funeral of Queen Mary II, and sets a text taken from the Book of Common Prayer, the standard service book of the Church of England. Scored for SATB chorus, four trumpets and basso continuo, it employs chromaticism to a degree that was unusual in English music of the time, and shows Purcell at his simplest and most moving, almost note-against-note without contrapuntal elaboration, unfolding with dignity and pathos.
