Henry Purcell has been acknowledged as one of England's greatest composers. Little is known about his life beyond his official appointments and duties, but as a musician he excelled as a servant of the Court, the Church and the theatre, writing odes, welcome songs, sonatas, anthems, service music and incidental music, and a series of operatic extravaganzas which fascinated the public during the 1690s. Surprisingly, the music itself has been little studied, and the contributions here from a range of scholars and performers represent the first new consideration of Purcell's oeuvre for many years.

Soft cover. Etat : Good. No Jacket. A book on the master of the English Baroque, this volume contains a group of fresh, new studies on aspects of the composer's background, on his music and on performance practice. Purcell has been acknowledged as one of England's greatest composers. Little is known about his life beyond his official appointments and their duties, but as a musician he excelled as a servant of the Court, the Church and the theatre, writing odes, welcome songs, sonatas, anthems, service music, and a series of operatic extravaganzas which fascinated the public during the 1690s. The Companion opens with four background chapters - by Andrew Pinnock, Jonathan Wainwright, Graham Dixon and Michael Burden. In the section on the music, Eric Van Tassel presents a new view of the church music, Bruce Wood re-assesses the odes, and Peter Holman writes perceptively about the instrumental music. On the theatre works, Edward Langhans considers their context, while Roger Savage studies the music for the operas and plays. Finally Andrew Parrott deals with aspects of performance, and the volume closes with a revision of Savage's classic essay on producing Purcell's ever-popular opera Dido and Aeneas. A bibliography details research undertaken on various aspects of Purcell's life and career. / With illustrations. The 1st edition (in this format) paperback in good condition-the cover is creased&rubbed. (504 pages & 13 pages of introduction & 16 pages of illustrations). N° de réf. du vendeur 9504
