Few details are known about the life of Henry Purcell. This book
provides an in-depth analysis of the most obvious documentary
evidence of Purcell's career - the music manuscripts of his own
hand and those copied by his colleagues. Robert Shay and Robert
Thompson offer a richly illustrated study of Purcell's sources,
examining in detail the physical features of the manuscripts as
well as their musical content. Their survey sheds light on the
chronology of composition and copying of Purcell's works and
reassesses the place of extant autographs in his musical
development. Major sources are fully catalogued, providing
information about the context in which Purcell's music was
collected and performed, and his handwriting is more closely
examined than ever before. The book represents a significant
reference tool for scholars, applying a forensic approach that
greatly enriches our knowledge of the composer and the music of his
time.
