’tis the season

I’ve been caught up in life too much to post for a couple of weeks. Though I’ve got a raft of drafts sitting here, I don’t feel like finishing most of them right now. So I think I’ll just post music for a while. I’ve a couple of seasonal drafts involving choral music I had thought to post. They’ll appear over the next couple of days.

But here’s my first musical post of the season, a wonderful song by Henry Purcell, the thought inspired by the last sentence of my previous paragraph. This performance allows the listener to follow a score, a nice touch; and I like the female singer, too; her singing nicely recontextualizes the piece and renders it universal, in a sense.
