John Blow: Complete Organ Music: Organ: Instrumental Album

Selected from Musica Britannica Volume 69. Edited by Barry Cooper.This collection of sixteen pieces by John Blow (1649-1708) taken from the complete organ music published in Volume 69 of Musica Britannica is an authoritative introduction to the work of the leading Restoration English composer of organ music. More organ music from this period is ascribed to Blow than to all his English contemporaries put together including Henry Purcell. In compiling this anthology the editor has incorporated both the best examples from the corpus and those that were most popular in the composer's lifetime while illustrating the variety of styles he used. Most of the pieces may be played ona single manual but there are also 'double voluntaries' (for two manuals) and 'cornet voluntaries' (for two or three manuals). The collection includes advice on ornamentation and a comprehensive editorial note.

This setting of the opening to Psalm 102 was composed in the early 1680s. Purcell, who was in his early twenties, had succeeded John Blow as organist of Westminster Abbey around the beginning of the decade and his star was in the ascendant as a court composer. In this piece he pulls off a remarkable compositional coup: a single, gradual climax, lasting over two minutes and culminating on the final repetition of the word 'come', is achieved through a sublime, freely developing eight-part weave of the opening material. The harmonies and nbsp - that result from the chromatic inflections on the word 'crying' all serve the mounting tension in this extraordinary miniature. Study of the autograph manuscript suggest that this anthem was intended to be the opening part of a larger work which was never completed. / SATB
