Download or read book Purcell written by Jonathan Keates and published by UPNE. This book was released on 1996 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Henry Purcell (1659-1695) is the greatest of all English composers and a pivotal figure in European musical history. In this rich and colorful biography, Jonathan Keates deftly traces Purcell's life and artistry against the backdrop of the turbulent political, religious, theatrical, and social movements of his time. Purcell's musical genius both embraced and transcended the variable moods and tensions of Restoration England, and gave the period and the culture an unforgettable voice. With great skill and historical understanding, Keates follows Purcell through his extraordinarily prolific career, from chorister at the Chapel Royal, to composer for the theater and the court, to writer of sacred music, chamber music, and the triumphant Dido and Aeneas, the first British opera. Keates considers Purcell's musical studies with Pelham Humfrey and John Blow as well as his adaptation of Matthew Locke's innovative and colorful style. He provides a superb critical appreciation of Purcell's music in all its forms. Keates also discusses the musical history of the period, including the influence of French and Italian composers, whose music blended with and modified native traditions.

Book excerpt: "Henry Purcell set to music an entire age. Endlessly resourceful and dazzlingly innovatory, Purcell's music instantly evokes the energy and confidence of Restoration England. The age of Pepys and Dryden--of elegance, wit, and boundless creativity--gave birth to an audacious new theatre and, in Purcell's operas, to a new musical form. It was also an age of violence and suspicion. In the decade before Purcell's birth the people had executed their king. Treason was no longer unthinkable. Popish plots, coup attempts, invasion scares, international double-dealing... England seethed with conspiracies, real and imagined. Purcell, court musician to three reigns, was forced to tread a delicate path between the opposing factions. A working musician, Purcell was organist and harpsichordist as well as composer; tuner and repairer as well as performer. He also wrote music for every conceivable occasion: for the Church and for the theatre, for the chamber and for the great occasions of State. Purcell moved easily through the echelons of London society: from the quiet of the chapel royal to the raucous taverns. King and courtiers, actresses and innkeepers, tradesmen and artist... Purcell knew all the characters that comprised the constant flux of London life. Maureen Duffy, unsurpassed in her treatment of the modern capital city, now captures the sights, sounds and the flavour of a very different London. New documentary evidence, gleaned from a scrupulous investigation of original documents and sources, together with a novelist's instincts have enabled her to create the most vivid and illuminating portrait yet of England's greatest--and most elusive--composer." --Dust jacket.
