A very special concert presenting some rarely-heard English gems, as well as some familiar masterpieces. Blow's Awake my Lyre; Septimnius and Acme; Cantate Domino; Poor Celadon; and Sing, sing ye muses; and Purcell's Raise, raise the voice; The Blessed Virgin's expostulation; the Chaconne in G minor; If ever I more riches did desire; and the Evening Hymn. The Parley of Instruments are joined by four superb vocal soloists.
