King Arthur (Arr. Laurie)-King Arthur was the only one of Purcell's professionally produced operas to have been designed as a semi-opera; the others were all adaptations of earlier plays. Dryden made a real attempt to integrate the music into the drama but since he ascribed to the dramatic conventions of the period which virtually confined music to allegorical or supernatural beings and thier worshippers or servants shepherds and similar characters the main action mostly occurs in the spoken sections and even the two singing characters Philidel and Grimbald speak more than they sing.

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
