in the comments on a video of Purcell's "Hear my prayer":

tricofilms: Wow, no major picady third in the cadence! I loved this one. What other pieces end the same minor key?

aarandir: Purcell is a good honest British composer; no false hope in the form of a tierce de picardie with him. Oh no, pure British cynicism in its raw form.
