In vain the am'rous flute from Hail, bright Cecilia [Ode for St. Cecilia's Day]
by Henry Purcell (1659-1695)
Charles Daniels & Mark Le Brocq, tenors
Gabrieli Players & Paul McCreesh
In vain the am'rous flute and soft guitar,
jointly labour to inspire
wanton heart and loose desire,
whilst thy chaste airs do gently move,
seraphic flames and heav'nly love.
