Buy the PDF score here: https://www.earlymusicscores.com/shop... Composed by John Eccles (1668-1735). From A Collection of Songs, 1704. Evelyn Tubb, soprano Frances Kelly, harp Banks's Cyrus the Great; or, The Tragedy of Love was intended for performance in the late 1670s or early 1680s. Eccles's mad song for Anne Bracegirdle as Lausaria, "Oh! take him gently from the pile," left a mark, quickly being printed in Deliciae Musicae (1696) and engraved by Thomas Cross as a standalone songsheet. In Act 4, Lausaria, the daughter of the King of Lydia, falls madly in love with Cyrus the Great, a role well-suited to Bracegirdle’s talents. Her earlier performance of Eccles's "I burn, I burn" in The Comical History of Don Quixote, Part 2 had popularized such pieces, and Lausaria’s song is one of several in this style. The song is split into two parts, with dialogue in between. The first part of the mad song features a moving opening with aspirated descending "Oh"s and delicate dissonant harmonies on "take him gently." The passions then intensify with the repeated use of words associated with Anne: “scorch,” “burn,” and “fire.” References: Incidental Music: Plays R-W, independent songs and catches. (2023). United States: A-R Editions, Incorporated.
