Fugal invention has proved a successful line of analytical inquiry
in recent studies of repertoires from Josquin to J. S. Bach. Alan
Howard brings similar insights to the music of Henry Purcell, and
proposes the first analytical approach to his music to examine
compositional methods alongside historically contemporary theory,
focusing particularly on Purcell's 'artificial' approach to
imitative counterpoint. Through this methodology Howard challenges
previous responses to Purcell's music that portrayed him as
fundamentally conservative. This study offers fresh insights into
the musical world in which Purcell lived and worked and situates
Purcell's compositional concerns in the broader context of notions
of artifice in Restoration culture. Howard thereby offers both a
fresh analytical approach - to Purcell's early instrumental works
and to his later concerted vocal music - and a critique of the
reception history surrounding the fantazias and sonatas in
particular.
