One of my musical heroes, here we have Alfred Deller, CBE (1912 – 1979), an English singer and one of the main figures in popularising the return of the countertenor voice in Renaissance and Baroque music during the 20th century. He is sometimes referred to as the "godfather of the countertenor". His style in singing lute song, with extensive use of rubato and extemporised ornamentation, was seen as radical and controversial in his day, but is now considered the norm. Deller was an influential figure in the renaissance of early music: an early proponent of original instrument performance, and one of the first to bring this form to the popular consciousness through his broadcasts on the BBC. He also founded the Stour Music Festival in 1962, one of the first and most important early music festivals in the world. The Music Music for a while (Z.583/2) from "Oedipus" (Incidental Music), composed in 1692. Text (by John Dryden & Nathaniel Lee) Music for a while shall all your cares beguile. Wond'ring how your pains were eased and disdaining to be pleased till Alecto free the dead from their eternal bands, till the snakes drop from her head, and the whip from out her hands. Performers Alfred Deller - countertenor William Christie - harpsichord Wieland Kuijken - bass viola da gamba A Harmonia Mundi recording.
