这是普赛尔 1686 年完成的皇家欢迎颂歌，也叫欢迎曲，为庆贺詹姆士二世王室返回伦敦所作。整部作品大概 23 分钟，采用独唱、重唱、混声合唱搭配弦乐、竖笛与通奏低音编制，开篇 tenor 独唱缓缓唤醒缪斯，乐器声部逐步跟进铺开，把巴洛克时代英国宫廷庄重又富有诗意的氛围感写得十分到位，文字和音乐的贴合感很强，属于普赛尔一众王室颂歌里很有代表性的一首，如今演出频次不算高，很值得静下心完整听完。
这类颂歌，如果只看文本会觉得就是拍马屁，但珀塞尔在里面塞的东西远不止这些。《留声机》杂志一篇评论说得挺准——当时詹姆斯二世的王位本就不稳（一个天主教君主统治着圣公会的英格兰），珀塞尔完全可以在这种命题作文里敷衍了事。但他在规矩里玩出了花，用音乐上的各种设计来回应歌词，“在礼数的框架里踢了一脚”。这种在命题作文里偷偷释放创造力的劲儿，大概就是他最让人服气的地方。
