Dr. Andrew Jensen (tenor) & Dennis Hay (piano) perform Henry Purcell's "I Attempt from Love's Sickness to Fly". The performance took place at Arkansas Northeastern College on April 12, 2011.
Nice! This is one of the few performances I've seen on here where 1) you actually sang it fast enough and 2) you could handle the fast notes at that tempo.
I attempt from Love's sickness to fly in vain, Since I am myself my own fever and pain. No more now, fond heart, with pride no more swell, Thou canst not raise forces enough to rebel. I attempt from Love's sickness, etc.. For Love has more power and less mercy than fate, To make us seek ruin and love those that hate. I attempt from Love's sickness, etc.. 1:08
Much nicer than the soprano versions I’ve heard.
I think this is the best performance of this song I've heard. It's really breath-taking
