Alfred Deller From Rosy Bowrs ( Henry Purcell)

Video footage of Deller performing Purcell s setting of a text by Thomas d Urfey. From rosy bow rs where sleeps the god of Love, Hither, ye little waiting Cupids, fly: Teach me in soft, melodious songs to move, With tender passion, my heart s darling joy. Ah let the soul of music tune my voice, To win dear Strephon, who my soul enjoys. br, br,
