  • Music for a While’ (For Component 3: Appraising)
    H Purcell: ‘Music for a While’ (For component 3: Appraising) Background information and performance circumstances Henry Purcell (1659–95) was an English Baroque composer and is widely regarded as being one of the most influential English composers throughout the history of music. A pupil of John Blow, Purcell succeeded his teacher as organist at Westminster Abbey from 1679, becoming organist at the Chapel Royal in 1682 and holding both posts simultaneously. He started composing at a young age and in his short life, dying at the early age of 36, he wrote a vast amount of music both sacred and secular. His compositional output includes anthems, hymns, services, incidental music, operas and instrumental music such as trio sonatas. He is probably best known for writing the opera Dido and Aeneas (1689). Other well-known compositions include the semi-operas King Arthur (1691), The Fairy Queen (1692) (an adaptation of Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream) and The Tempest (1695). ‘Music for a While’ is the second of four movements written as incidental music for John Dryden’s play based on the story of Sophocles’ Oedipus. Dryden was also the author of the libretto for King Arthur and The Indian Queen and he and Purcell made a strong musical/dramatic pairing. In 1692 Purcell set parts of this play to music and ‘Music for a While’ is one of his most renowned pieces. The Oedipus legend comes from Greek mythology and is a tragic story about the title character killing his father to marry his mother before committing suicide in a gruesome manner.

  • PROGRAM NOTES Henry Purcell
    PROGRAM NOTES by Phillip Huscher Henry Purcell - Suite from King Arthur Born sometime in 1659, place unknown. Died November 21, 1695, London, England. Suite from King Arthur Purcell composed his semi-opera King Arthur, with texts by John Dryden, in 1691. The first performance was given at the Dorset Garden Theatre in London in May of that year. The orchestra for this suite of instrumental excerpts consists of two oboes and english horn, two trumpets, timpani, and strings, with continuo provided by bassoon and harpsichord. Performance time is approximately twenty minutes. The Chicago Symphony Orchestra has performed music from Purcell's King Arthur (Trumpet Tune, "Ye blust'ring brethren of the skies," with Charles W. Clark as soloist, and Grand Dance: Chaconne) only once previously, on subscription concerts at the Auditorium Theatre on December 13 and 14, 1901, with Theodore Thomas conducting. Henry Purcell is the one composer who lived and worked before J. S. Bach who has found a place in the symphonic repertory. The Chicago Symphony played Purcell's music as early as 1901, when it programmed three selections from King Arthur on the first of its new "historical" programs designed to "illustrate the development of the orchestra and its literature, from the earliest times down to the present day." Purcell still stands at the very beginning of the modern orchestra's repertory, although he is best known to today's audiences for the cameo appearance his music makes in Benjamin Britten's twentieth- century classic, the Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra. Purcell is regularly described as the finest English composer before Edward Elgar, if not as the greatest English composer of all.

  • PURCELL: Ode for St Cecilia 1692 – BMC 40
    PURCELL: Ode for St Cecilia 1692 – BMC 40 In 1683 a group of gentlemen amateurs and professional musicians started a "Musical Society" in London to celebrate the "Festival of St. Cecilia, a great Patroness of Music" on November 22nd. They asked Henry Purcell, then only 24, to be the first to write an Ode for their festivals; this Ode, Welcome to All the Pleasures, can be heard on our previous disc, BMC 39. Contrast this with the present Ode for St Cecilia , composed in 1692. Here we have a Purcell greatly matured and confident, already foreshadowing Handel. TRACK 1 Thou didst the scattered atoms bind Symphony (Overture) Which by the laws of true proportion joined, This splendid five-section Symphony opens with strings Made up of various parts, one perfect harmony. and trumpets answering each other. The second part is a Fugue on two subjects, followed by an Adagio in which TRACK 3 the oboes echo the violins. A brilliant Allegro for the Soprano & Chorus :Thou Tun'st This World trumpets follows, and after a harmonic Adagio, the Thou tun'st this world below, the spheres above, / Allegro is reprised. Who in the heavenly round to their own music move. TRACK 2 Trio: With That Sublime Celestial Lay Soli and Chorus: "Hail! Bright Cecilia" With that sublime celestial lay can any earthly sounds compare? Hail! bright Cecilia, fill ev'ry heart If any earthly music dare, the noble organ may. With love of thee and thy celestial art, From heav'n its wondrous notes were giv'n, That thine, and Music's sacred love Cecilia oft conversed with heav'n.

This process is begun in the first chapter by discussing 'The Counter-Tenor Debate' in order to establish the method(s) of vocal production used by Purcell's counter-tenors. This in turn addressesthe issue of whether the counter-tenor was a completely different voice type from the tenor, or if they were simply high and low subdivisions of the same voice type.

Dès leurs découvertes, ils ont éprouvé une véritable fascination pour leurs peuplades aux mœurs, aux vêtements et aux rites étranges, jusqu’à développer une mode dont l’engouement ne s’est pas tari jusqu’à nos jours. Ainsi, de nouveaux produits exotiques ont envahi les marchés entre la Renaissance et le XVIIIe siècle : des tissus imprimés aux motifs inédits furent dénommés « indiennes » (même le Bourgeois Gentilhomme s’en revêt), le chocolat, le café, les épices, des légumes et des fruits jusqu’alors inconnus irent leur apparition sur les tables des gourmets fortunés. De même, d’innombrables littérateurs, à la suite de Montesquieu, Voltaire ou Rousseau, trouvèrent parmi les « Indiens » de nouveaux archétypes de personnages, allant de l’innocent sauvage au monstre sanguinaire, ordonnateur des pires supplices et adepte des turpitudes les plus suaves. Les musiciens ont très vite suivi leurs pas. Des titres exotiques, délicieusement évocateurs, leurissent dès le XVIIe siècle parmi les compositions les plus diverses, de la sonate en quatuor La Sultane de François Couperin, à la spirituelle Gazzetta turco-musicale de Daniel Georg Speer, sans oublier les fameux Sauvages pour clavecin de Rameau.

  • Sandra Tuppen Purcell in the Eighteenth Century: Music for The
    Sandra Tuppen Purcell in the eighteenth century: music for the ‘Quality, Gentry, and others’ This is a pre-copyedited, author-produced version of an article accepted for publication in Early Music following peer review. The version of record, Sandra Tuppen; Purcell in the 18th century: music for the ‘Quality, Gentry, and others’, Early Music, Volume 43, Issue 2, 1 May 2015, Pages 233–245, is available online at https://academic.oup.com/em/article/43/2/233/398873. DOI: https://doi.org/10.1093/em/cav012. Abstract Henry Purcell was the only composer of his generation to be honoured with performances of his music at both the Academy of Ancient Music and Concerts of Ancient Music in the 18th century. Both organisations also programmed 18th-century music for The Tempest believing it to be by Purcell. Excerpts from Purcell’s theatre works were performed at the Noblemen and Gentlemen’s Catch Club too, where the Earl of Sandwich and Sir Watkin Williams Wynn introduced much of the Purcell repertoire; Sandwich was also a key figure in the promotion of Purcell’s music at the Concerts of Ancient Music. Although the Academy of Ancient Music’s instrumental parts for King Arthur do not exhibit as many signs of modernisation as do their manuscripts of Dido and Aeneas, some amendments to the musical text are found there, as well as in the Catch Club’s manuscripts of Purcell’s music. Purcell’s works were generally well received by the press, and newspaper reviews provide evidence of concerts of his music taking inspiration – and sometimes performers – from the Concerts of Ancient Music.

  • Henry Purcell
    Composers Name ......................................... Bach - Handel - Purcell Sheet 7 Henry Purcell - 1659 - 1695 his early years When Henry Purcell was a little boy, he would have played in the cobble-stone lanes around his home in London with his little brother, Daniel, who was only one year younger than Henry. He grew up to be a composer as well. Some sad things happened during their childhood years. Henry was only about six years old when the Great Plague spread to London. This was a terrible disease that killed about a hundred thousand people in only one year. When Henry was seven years old he lived through the great fire of London as well. It lasted for five days and destroyed most of the city because most of the buildings were made of wood. After that, Henry saw the city being rebuilt, but this time the buildings were made out of brick and stone so they were much safer and better looking. Henry had a fine singing voice. This was not surprising because both his father and uncle Thomas were musicians and Gentlemen of the Royal Chapel, where musicians who played for the king were trained. When he was about nine years old, Henry became one of the Children in the Chapel Royal and was taught to sing properly by a man named Henry Cooke. Mr Cooke used to be a captain in the army and he disciplined the boys in his care and made sure that they practiced as much as they needed to and studied all the subjects that they had to learn.
