Скачать или смотреть Hubert Parry - I know my soul hath power (LIVE) | SANSARA

Our performance of the second piece from Parry's Songs of Farewell, the simplest of the set with declamatory homophony throughout. Here, the expressive intensity is brought not through complex textures or tempo changes but through harmonic shifts and dramatic pauses.

I know my soul hath power to know all things,
Yet she is blind and ignorant in all:
I know I'm one of Nature's little kings,
Yet to the least and vilest things am thrall.

I know my life's a pain and but a span;
I know my sense is mock'd in ev'rything;
And, to conclude, I know myself a Man,
Which is a proud and yet a wretched thing.

John Davies (1569-1626)

Performed by SANSARA, conducted by Tom Herring.

Live performance of Hubert Parry's 'I know my soul hath power', recorded at the Wiltshire Music Centre, Bradford on Avon (UK) on Saturday 19 June, 2021.
