- Composed before taking up his post at the Chapel Royal in 1682. No. 1 of the 3 Funeral Sentences. A = 415 Hz
Purcell's three Funeral Sentences were not written for the funeral of Queen Mary in 1695. Following the tradition of the English court, it was pieces by Thomas Morley, originally written for the funeral of Elizabeth I, that were sung there. Purcell's only contribution to the ceremony was the composition of two pieces for slide trumpets (March and Canzona), and the anthem in the archaic style Thou knowest, Lord. During the funeral procession to Westminster Abbey, a band of oboes played two marches written by John Paisible and Thomas Tollet.
Text from the Book of Common Prayer (1662) :
Man that is born of a woman
hath but a short time to live,
and is full of misery.
He cometh up, and is cut down like a flower;
he fleeth as it were a shadow,
and ne'er continueth in one stay.
Performers : Vox Luminis and Lionel Meunier. From the album "Purcell, Morley & Tomkins: English Royal Funeral Music"
THANK YOU!!!...THANK YOU!!!...THANK YOU!!!!....
Absolutely wonderful!
Purcell was a genius
Absolutely wonderful.
Unspeakably beautiful
how true is the message of the text!
It's from the Bible, in case you weren't aware.
*Job 14:1-2*
_Man born of woman is of few days and full of trouble._
_He springs up like a flower and withers away; like a fleeting shadow, he does not endure._
What is the message?
@@sapienite the message to me is that human concieved in utero and given birth to lives but briefly and their days are full of troubles ; more troubles, commotions, than happiness, pleasures. what's the message to you?
@@sapienite:
The message is extremely clear: life is miserable, transient, and meaningless; of course the Bible tries to frame that as a "test of faith", which is some of the most hilarious nonsense anyone has ever come up with, but that's obviously not the case at all, there is simply no redemption to be had for life.
@@hoon_sol 💯 i am thankful at least that i never was nor will be involved in the act of procreation, that i will not pass on this generational curse of existence to anyone.
