The comedy
The Married Beau, or the
Curious Impertinent by
John Crowne is based on
an episode from the first
part of Miguel Cervantes'
novel Don Quixote.
Purcell's theatre music
consists of nine
movements. Three
movements, Air, Trumpet
Air and March, are based
on triad arpeggios
(fanfares following the
music for brass
instruments). Purcell
shows the manifold
possibilities offered by
this simple material.
Special attention should
be given to the Hornpipe
upon a ground showing
once again Purcell's
skill to combine various
forms with each
other.
