Abstract
This paper presents a discussion of fourteen sacred solo songs by Henry Purcell found in Harmonia Sacra. Background material is given on Purcell's career and the poets of the songs. The discussion of the music is divided into four areas, form, melody, texture, and harmony. The final chapter is a detailed analysis of one of the songs, "Tell Me, Some Pitying Angel."
