Purcell - O God Thou Art My God video free download

Lovely music and a very good choir - but some of those blissful facial expressions are a bit off-putting. It is possible to overdo it on the ecstasy front!

Charity Dell

Lovely setting of Psalm 63:1-5;8.

Colin Gantiglew

Brilliant! Ending with the most beautiful hallelujah in English music, Handel included. Purcell was easily his equal in vocal music.

Jay Young

Just so you know, she's 15 years older now.

I'd be just fine if they left the camera where it is at 1:15

EstherJael

okay thanks.

does this reflect the music/worship service in an Anglican church? Just wondering because it's very well done but it seems really uppity and stuffy.

The lips and mouth movements are not "facial expressions." There is an anatomical nerve connection between lips in the back of the throat. Moving the lips outward as the soloists do stretches the mouth cavity, rendering more depth and "ring" to the voice. This is a known and recognized singing technique. So is the wide-open month position. Added resonance.

The caterwailing women spoil the soundscape

Kenneth Robinson

Over the top facial expressions: ridiculous! Fantastic singing, though.

Paul Banks PB

By far the best version on YT. Thank you, a real treat.

This one of the most sublime things I have ever heard.

Agreed. We have a major problem in this country over "dumbing down" and playing to the "Lowest Common Denominator." Due to thses and other factors, such as the decline in church and school choirs, we are also in danger of loosing our supurb choral tradition that has been built up over several hundred years.
