Thank you so much for sharing, Martin! That was glorious. I really do like Purcell but that skilfully worked video was truly amazing. Andrew Cooper has a wonderful voice and such a talented musician too. Thanks. Really appreciate that.
She may owe me an apology.
I’ve been a drummer for about 50 yrs.
Which means I played through the worst decade for drummers.
You can guess which one, but my god, drummers were suffering.
Blessed Cecilia, appear in visions
To all musicians, appear and inspire:
Translated Daughter, come down and startle
Composing mortals with immortal fire.
While my celtic band played "I'll Tell Me Ma" in a bar one night, m partner drifted off to a verse and chorus of "Cecilia" for a musical break, then segued back to tellin' me ma.

Bring me some healing Saint Cecilia, carry me home
To your house
