Coffee Cantata 3. by Nicolas Bernier: Janet Wheeler, soprano; Harold Kohon, violin; and Dorothy Walters, harpsichord. Vox PL 14,000. Remastered by Mike Burke.
3. Recit: Coffee, thou star whose sweet, pure clarity comes each night to console Nature for the sun's absence, on thee we fix our gaze. The rival fires of the sky made clearer by thee, to knowing eyes, display their vast motions. May wise Minera and her minions learn to value thee. |
