Tribute to Henry Purcell - Miserere Mei
Date
Written during the first lockdown, 2020
Purcell wrote this small fragment "Miserere Mei, O Jesu", Z.109, which is a Double Canon (Sopranos with Tenors and Altos with Basses) possibly as a technical exercise. I have extended it into a piece for double choir by adding two further Sop/Tenor Alto/Bass canons and converting it into a Crab Canon in which the music is repeated backwards, a musical palindrome.
