Another shot to try and show the sheer size of The Anglican Cathedral in Liverpool, which is the fifth largest Cathedral in the world.
Now listen to some music by one of England's greatest ever composers, Henry Purcell (1659-1695). This is the first part of his dramatic and moving Music for the Funeral of Queen Mary. The Mary in question is Mary II (1662-1694) who ruled jointly with her husband William of Orange. Purcell composed this music for her funeral in Westminster Abbey. It was next played less than a year later in the same Church at his own funeral. He died aged 36. You may recognise this music as a synthesised version was the theme music for "A Clockwork Orange".
