Henry Purcell a passé presque la moitié de sa vie comme organiste de l'abbaye de Westminster, mais étonnamment écrit la musique d'orgue très peu de lui-même. Bryan Hesford a rectifié cela avec ce volume de morceaux arrangés et transcribedform d'autres sources. Les morceaux ont été choisis en vue d'initier les étudiants à une partie indépendante de jeu à un niveau technique un peu plus simple que celle de JS Bach. / Orgue / niveau : Elémentaire / Recueil

Sept pièces merveilleuses du grand compositeur anglais, Henry Purcell. / Orgue / Partition

Henry Purcell (1659-1695) held numerous appointments at the Royal Court and Westminster Abbey and is considered by many to be the greatest ever English-born composer. His prolific work covered all fields: orchestral ecclesiastical operatic theatrical incidental and chamber music were all enriched by his output. Lord How Long Wilt Thou Be Angry? (Z 25) was one of Purcell's earlier works. It was written soon after his appointment as Organist of Westminster Abbey in 1679 and was undoubtedly used there many times during his tenure. It takes extracts from Psalm 79 for the text. The music has influences of Byrd and Gibbons but also shows howPurcell was beginning to develop his own distinctive style.

Par PURCELL HENRY. Purcell Dido and Aeneas (Full Score, paperback) The opera ?Dido and Aeneas?, a recount of the well-known story from Book IV of Virgil's Aeneid, has established itself as a favourite with the public. This is due to the skill of composer Henry Purcell and his librettist Nahum Tate, who combined an overriding tragic theme with masterfully inserted comic episodes. Long believed to have been conceived in 1689 for a performance at a ?School for Young Gentlewomen?, scholars have debated the origins of ?Dido? in recent decades, a process hampered by the lack of early musical sources. This edition addresses these challenges and evaluates the earliest sources that reproduce the opera in its surviving form. Surprisingly, these date from the 1770s and 80s, some ninety years after the work was written. Three key manuscripts ? now held at the Bodleian Library in Oxford (UK), at Tatton Park Library which is a National Trust property near Manchester (UK), and at the Wakayama Prefectural Library (Japan) - were all copied from the same original, most likely a handwritten score from 1704 which reappeared in the early 1770s, only to disappear again. This is the first 'Dido' edition based on the Tatton Park manuscript as the main source. It was produced during the second half of the 18th century by Philip Hayes, one of England's most prominent musicians. He was known in musicology for his meticulous copies of Purcell's music, often from the autograph manuscripts. The Bodleian and Wakayama manuscripts are presented in a new light and their role in this edition has been reassessed accordingly. - Urtext edition based for the first time on the Tatton Park manuscript as the main source - Informative Foreword (Eng/Ger) on the genesis, transmission, reception and performance practice - Complete facsimile reproduction of the Chelsea libretto / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / Solistes, Choeur Mixte et Orchestre
