Description:
Henry Purcell (1658 - 1695) is generally considered as one of the greatest English composers. He incorporated Italian and French stylistic elements into his compositions and made uniquely English baroque music. He has a rich production as composer, with works for orchestra, church, scene - and vocal.
In 1692, three years before his dead, he composed music to 'The Fairy Queen', who is a masque or semi - opera who is a revised version of William Shakespeare's wedding comedy 'A Midsummer Night's Dream'. This arrangement of Symphony is the overture to act number four.
