Gloriana







           Hark, hark! just now my listening ears
           Are struck with the repeated sound
           Of labouring oars ..

                                                                   

















Henry Purcell
Swifter Isis, swifter flow
1681
Charles Daniels, tenor
Robert King, director
The King's Consort
