Poor Celadon

Immerse yourself in the poignant soundscape of the English Baroque with "Poor Celadon (Loving above Himself)". Originating from the famous 1700 collection Amphion Anglicus, this exquisite vocal work tells a deeply moving tale of unrequited love and longing. Scored for alto or countertenor (range g–b') and beautifully framed by two expressive violins and basso continuo, the piece unfolds with intimate dramatic depth. Meticulously edited by Cedric Lee and published by Green Man Press, this sheet music edition combines historical accuracy with excellent readability. A true gem of early music and an enriching addition to any sophisticated concert programme or recital!
