About the author

Baroque composer Henry Purcell served, at various times in his life, as organ tuner, "composer-in-ordinary," organist, and composer to the royal family. He is probably best known for his stage music, including The Fairy Queen (1692) and the opera, Dido and Aeneas (1689). He composed more than 250 pieces of music in his lifetime, including secular songs, religious anthems, pieces for instrumental ensemble, and works for harpsichord.
