This is a marvellous collection of pieces by Henry Purcell newly arranged for the Organ by concert organist Martin Setchell. Purcell's music is perfectly suited to the Organ and a number of his pieces have long been popular with players. This volume brings together a range of well-known pieces - trumpet tunes the Rondeau from Abdelazer Dido's Lament and movements from The Fairy Queen - and combines these with a wonderful selection of lesser-known pieces from across Purcell's work. There are sprightly tunes and hornpipes from the stage works lovely reflective songs and airs and a wide range of dances and chaconnes. The result is a set of pieceswith wise and varied church and concert use perfectly accessible to intermediate players and making a valuable addition to any organist's repertoire. Martin Setchell is Associate Professor of Music University Organist and tutor in Organ at the University of Canterbury School Of Music New Zealand. He combines his university teaching and research career with a busy and international schedule of recitals and concerts as soloist accompanist and continuo player on Organ and Harpsichord.

Par DUPRE / BIOJOUT. Ayant toujours vécu à  Londres, Henry Purcell (1659-1698) servit les monarques anglais à  la Chapelle Royale de Westminster comme copiste puis comme organiste et compositeur. Son nom est notamment rattaché à  celui de la Reine Mary II, dont il célébra en musique le couronnement mais aussi les tristes funérailles. Outre ses Odes, Antiennes, Songs, Catches et autres à??uvres intrumentales, on lui doit de nombreuses musiques de scênes, qu'il s'agisse de Masques (King Arthur, The Fairy Queen, entre autres) mais aussi un opéra, Didon et énée, qui a traversé les ges et continue fréquemment d'être interprété. Bien que mort prématurément, la contribution de cet Orpheus Britannicus? à  la musique anglaise est majeure, et Purcell influença durablement plusieurs générations de compositeurs, parmi lesquels on compte Georg Friedrich Haendel ou encore Johann Sebastian Bach. Ouvrage entiêrement révisé et complété, avec un chapitre additionnel et des annexes inédites. / Broché / Livre / Livres

Thomas Adès made these four Purcell realisations for medium voice and piano for recitals with the countertenor Iestyn Davies in 2012 and 2017. Four Songs is comprised of two of Purcellâ??s Tempest songs â??Come Unto these Yellow Sandsâ?? and â??Full Fathom Fiveâ?? alongside the much-loved â??An Evening Hymnâ?? and â??By Beauteous Softnessâ??. The whole collection lasts around 12 minutes. Adès described Purcellâ??s manner of setting English text as â??magnificentâ?? remarking that â??the way that emotion the rhythm of the words is rendered into music is incomparably natural and powerful.â?? All of these qualities are brought to the fore in these realisations which should prove an invaluableaddition to the repertoire.

Benjamin Britten's performances and realisations of the songs and other music by Henry Purcell extended over at least thirty years from the early nineteen forties onwards. In Purcell he found a kindred spirit: a composer of opera and dramatic music who knew how to write for the voice and who handled the English language with sensitivity and daring.
