Henry Purcell - The Origins and Development of His Musical Style (Book, Digitally Print)

This is the first book thoroughly to explore the musical style of
Henry Purcell. In this comprehensive study, Martin Adams identifies
music by other composers, both within England and from abroad,
which influenced Purcell's compositional decisions. Using a mix of
broad stylistic observation and detailed analysis, Adams
distinguishes between late seventeenth-century English style in
general and Purcell's style in particular and chronicles the
changes in the composer's approach to the main genres in which he
worked, especially the newly emerging ode and English opera. As a
result, Adams reveals that although Purcell went through a marked
stylistic development, encompassing an unusually wide range of
surface changes, special elements of his style remained constant.
The book will be of interest to students and scholars of music and
theatre history and of British cultural and social history.
