Hail, bright Cecilia!
Soul of the world
Thou tun'st this world below, the spheres above

With that sublime celestial lay
Sir Charles Mackerras · English Chamber Orchestra · Paul Esswood · Michael Rippon · Roland Tatnell
in vain the am'rous flute and soft guitar
The fife, and all the harmony of war
Let these amongst themselves contest
Hail, bright Cecilia!
With rapture of delight

Hail, bright Cecilia!
