Cecilia, a martyr of the early Christian church, has traditionally been honoured as the patron saint of music and has inspired many composers, notably Henry Purcell and Benjamin Britten. This captivating 1857 work presents a carefully researched survey of the musical events and poetry celebrating her feast day, 22 November.
