Fair Oriana

伊丽莎白一世，'美丽的奥莉安娜'，是英国历史上最杰出的君主之一：她受过良好的教育，坚强、无畏、睿智。在她统治末期，为了谄媚和转移她的注意力，人们编纂了一本名为《奥莉安娜的胜利》的音乐选集。这本选集中的四首优秀作品，加上第五首《奥里亚娜的告别》，构成了一连串歌颂圣母女王的动人旋律"

原文简介:
Elizabeth I, 'Fair Oriana', was one of the most remarkable monarchs in English history: she was well educated, strong, fearless and wise. Towards the end of her reign a musical anthology entitled The Triumphs of Oriana was assembled in order to flatter and divert her. Four superb works from this anthology - plus a fifth, Oriana's Farewell - provide a delightful sequence of madrigals in celebration of the Virgin Queen. This collection of masterpieces from England's Golden Age was published to celebrate the golden jubilee of her namesake, Elizabeth II, arranged for SATB choir. The Choral Programme Series is now a well-established programming tool for many choirs as it offers a wealth of fresh material from many eras and in many styles. Also offering great value for money as each volume in the series provides up to forty minutes of music.
