Instruments of Time and Truth
The Choir of The Queen’s College, Oxford
Owen Rees director

A concert featuring a programme of Restoration verse anthems, including repertoire by Cooke, Blow, Humfrey, and Purcell, as part of part of a one-day conference marking the 350th Anniversary of the death of Captain Henry Cooke: “Music, Creativity, and Culture in England, 1642-88”

Little is known of Cooke's life prior to his appointments in the King's Musick, but what cannot be disputed is his profound impact on the musical world, rearing (in his capacity of Master of the Children) some of the most prodigious musicians of the seventeenth century: Pelham Humfrey, John Blow, and, most notably, Henry Purcell.

More details are available on the conference website.
