If Music Be The Food Of Love - Henry Purcell

If Music Be The Food Of Love - Henry Purcell

As performed by the Stellenbosch Madrigal Singers on 7 December 2017 in the PJ Olivier Art Centre. Lyrics: If music be the food of love Sing on, sing on, sing on 'Til I am filled, with joy For then my listening soul you move To pleasures that can never cloy Your eyes (your eyes), your mien (your mien), your tongue declare That you are music everywhere Pleasures invade both eye and ear So fierce, the transports are, They wound, they wound, they wound And all my senses feasted are Though yet (though yet) the treat is only, the treat is only sound Sure I must perish by your charms Unless you save me in your arms
