First published in 1931, this book presents the text of Thomas
Purcell's opera The Fairy Queen, which was performed in this form
as an acted adaptation at the New Theatre, Cambridge from 10-14
February 1931. Purcell based his opera on A Midsummer Night's Dream
and this version was altered to incorporate more dialogue from
Shakespeare's play in place of changes made by an anonymous
librettist in 1692. This book will be of value to anyone with an
interest in Purcell and Shakespeare.

Near-complete collection of great English composer's keyboard compositions, including the eight suites, the core of his keyboard works. Also included are many miscellaneous one-movement pieces: airs, trumpet tunes (for harpsichord solo), grounds, preludes, dances, etc. Edited with a preface by noted music scholar William Barclay Squire.
Music examples and charts illustrate the analyses, and each
essay is fully annotated by the editor. In some cases, the results
of original research by the editor or by others working in the
field are published here for the first time. Much of the material
has never before appeared in English.
A score embodying the best available musical text.
Historical background-what is known of the circumstances
surrounding the origin of the work, including (where relevant)
original source material.
A detailed analysis of the music, by the editor of the volume or
another well-known scholar.
Other significant analytic essays and critical comments,
exposing the student to a variety of opinions about the music.
