My beloved spake (Henry Purcell) - Guildford Cathedral Choir (Barry Rose)

Guildford Cathedral Choir, directed by Barry Rose: Evensong at Guildford Cathedral, 5 May 1964: (Text: Song of Solomon 2:10-13,16a. This verse anthem (Z 28) was written some time before 1677) My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away. For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land; The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away. My beloved is mine, and I am his: Hallelujah! Please comment, "like", share or embed. All subscriptions welcome!
