Henry Purcell: Royal Welcome Songs For King Charles II, Volume IV – The Sixteen

Catch: God Save Our Sov’reign Charles, Z. 250
Welcome Song – Swifter, Isis, Swifter Flow, Z. 336
Symphony / Swifter, Isis, swifter flow
Land him safely on her shore
Hark, hark! Just now my listening ears
Welcome, dread Sir, to town
But with as great devotion meet
Your Augusta he charms with no lesser delight
The King whose presence like the Spring
Then since, Sir, from you all our blessings do flow
In nomine Fantasia a6, Z. 746
Missa Gloria tibi Trinitas
Benedictus
In nomine Fantasia a7, Z. 747
Theodosius, or The Force of Love, Z. 606
Prepare, prepare, the rites begin
Canst thou, Marina
The gate to bliss
Hark! Behold the heav’nly choir!
Now, now the fight’s done
Sad as death at dead of night
Dream no more of pleasures past!
Hail to the myrtle shade
Ah! Cruel, bloody fate
The Lord is My Light, Z. 55
Welcome Song – The Summer’s Absence Unconcerned We Bear, Z. 337
Symphony
The summer’s absence unconcerned we bear
And when late from your throne Heaven’s call you attend
Ah! Had we, Sir, the power of art
Happy while all her neighbours bled
So happily still you your counsels employ
But those no more shall dare repine

The Sixteen, Harry Christophers
