  2. “Nymphs and Shepherds” • Composer: Henry Purcell • Written in 1685 • Written for Thomas Shadwell’s play ‘The Libertine’ • Secular style

  3. Henry Purcell • September 10th, 1659 • Born in Westminster, England • Mostly composed religious songs • He wrote: one complete opera, songs and compositions for 50 theatrical works, 60 anthems, hymns, and psalms, 25 odes, and 22 sonatas.

  4. Text of the Piece “Your flock may now securely rove, whilst you express your jollity” While you are happy, your flocks will be safe, and secure.

  5. Reasons I like this song • It has a really happy tone to it • The notes change often, not boring • The piano arrangement sounds pretty • Dynamic changes…sounds like echoing
