Odes

Abstract BY and large, Purcell’s odes have received short shrift in modern times. The texts are routinely dismissed as inept and embarassingly sycophantic, and attention has largely been confined to the three works currently available in miniature score: Welcome to all the pleasures’ 2339, Hail, bright Cecilia’ Z328, and Come, ye sons of art, away’ 2323. The original volumes in Works I containing the odes were published between 1878 and 1926, and have been out of print for decades. They are only now being replaced by volumes in Works II, and some first-rate pieces are still virtually unknown. Purcell’s odes are important because nearly all of them can be dated precisely-unlike most of the music discussed so far in this book.
