| Added by magataganm, 18 Feb 2023 Henry Purcell (1659 – 1695) was an English composer. His style of Baroque music was uniquely English, although it incorporated Italian and French elements. Generally considered among the greatest English opera composers, Purcell is often linked with John Dunstaple and William Byrd as England's most important early music composers. No later native-born English composer approached his fame until Edward Elgar, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Gustav Holst, William Walton and Benjamin Britten in the 20th century. "Jehova, guam multi sunt hostes mei!" (Lord, how many are my foes!) is a hugely popular anthem by Henry Purcell, who composed some of the greatest English music for the Chapel Royal and Westminster Abbey between 1677 and 1695. His music is characterised by its expression and originality and this is no exception. Lord, how many are my foes! How many rise up against me! Many are saying of me, “God will not deliver him.” But you, Lord, are a shield around me, my glory, the One who lifts my head high. I call out to the Lord, and he answers me from his holy mountain. I lie down and sleep; I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. I will not fear though tens of thousands assail me on every side. Arise, Lord! Deliver me, my God! Strike all my enemies on the jaw; break the teeth of the wicked. From the Lord comes deliverance. May your blessing be on your people. Source: Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_Purcell).
