Henr
y Purcell
(1659-1695) held numerous
appointments at the Royal
court and Westminster
Abbey, and is considered
by many to be the
greatest ever
English-born composer.
His prolific work covered
all fields: orchestral,
ecclesiastical, operatic,
theatrical, incidental,
and chamber music were
all enriched by his
output.
Fantazias
And In Nomines
is a collection of his 15
Fantasies and 2 In
Nomines, Z. 731-747.
Purcell is
credited with
popularising the hitherto
arcane form of the
Fantasy, perhaps most
famously in his
Fanstasia Upon One
Note, where a middle
C is sustained throughout
- in live performances
this issometimes played
by a volunteer from the
audience!
This full
score edition has been
edited by the renowned
musicologist Robert
Thurston Dart.
