Henry Purcell Funeral music of Queen Mary

Read and write feedback
This edition of Purcell's Funeral Music brings together for the first time his "Funeral Sentences", composed in 1677 or earlier, and the music he wrote for the Funeral of Queen Mary II, wife of William of Orange, who died on December 28th 1694. The Sentences comprise three anthems for choir, solo voices and organ continuo. The words are taken from the Book of Common Prayer of 1660 and from Job 14 w. 1-2. The large number of sources that survive suggests that Purcell's settings were highly thought of and much performed in the seventeenth century.

  • Unbenanntes Dokument 1. March 2. Man that is born of a woman

    Der Mensch, vom Weibe geboren,
    lebt kurze Zeit und ist voller Unruhe.
    Er blühet auf und wird zu Staub wie das Gras,
    er fliehet gleichwie ein Schatten
    und findet keine Statt auf Erden.

    3. Canzona 4. In the midst of life

    Mitten wir im Leben sind des Tods.
    Bei wem möchten Hilf wir finden denn bei dir, o Gott,
    den unsre Schuld und Sünde erzürnet?
    O, du ewger Gott, du starker, allmächtiger,

  • Unbenanntes Dokument 1. March 2. Man that is born of a woman

    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 flow’r;
    he flee’th as a shadow, and ne’er continueth in one stay.

    3. Canzona 4. In the midst of life

    In the midst of life we are in death;
    of whom may we seek for succour but of thee, o Lord,
    who for our sins art justly displeased.
    Yet, O Lord, most mighty, O holy and most merciful Saviour,
    deliver us not into the bitter pains of eternal death.

Additional product information
  • Henry Purcell is considered the most important composer of the English High Baroque period. He gained his first musical experience as a singing boy in the Royal Chapel. In 1674 he became an organist at Westminster Abbey, three years later Composer of the Violins at Court, and in 1679 he finally became organist of Westminster Abbey himself. Purcell was promoted to organist of the Royal Chapel in 1683 and became the royal steward of instruments in 1683. This put an end to his political and social career and allowed him to concentrate on his musical work. From today's perspective, Henry Purcell appears to be the most important English stage composer of the era before George Frideric Handel. Personal details

Er studierte Kirchenmusik und Orgel an der Evangelischen Kirchenmusikschule Esslingen am Neckar bei Hans-Arnold Metzger und Musikwissenschaft, Theologie und Geschichte an der Universität Tübingen. Seine berufliche Laufbahn begann als Kantor an der Evangelischen Michaelskirche in Stuttgart-Degerloch. 1954 wurde er Kantor an der Evangelischen Stadtkirche Ravensburg, eine Position, die er bis zu seiner Pensionierung innehatte. Als Musikwissenschaftler arbeitete Horn bis ins hohe Alter eng mit Carus zusammen. So stammen zahlreiche Carus-Klavierauszüge aus seiner Feder. Personal details
