Melodien für das Theater
Zwei Jahre nach Henry Purcells Tod 1695 erschien eine umfangreiche Sammlung unter dem Titel »A Collection of Ayres, Compos’d for the Theatre, and upon other Occasions«, kurz »Ayres for the Theatre«. Die vier Stimmbücher dieser »Melodien für das Theater« enthalten dreizehn Suiten, die zusammen mit einigen weiteren Stücken vom Ensemble »The Parley of Instruments« unter Roy Goodman zusammengestellt und interpretiert wurden, wie sie in einem Konzertrahmen der Purcell-Zeit erklungen sein könnten.
When Henry Purcell died suddenly on 21 November 1695 he left a good deal of unpublished music. The music publishing industry was still relatively undeveloped in England during his lifetime and by and large only those pieces that could easily be performed in the home—songs, catches, trio sonatas and keyboard pieces—got into print. In fact, Purcell’s death stimulated a burst of unprecedented activity: his keyboard suites were published in A Choice Collection of Lessons for the Harpsichord or Spinnet (1696), a second set of trio sonatas was issued as Ten Sonata’s in Four Parts (1697), one of his most popular concerted works, the Te Deum and Jubilate in D major, was published in score in 1697, and a large collection of his songs appeared in the two volumes of Orpheus Britannicus (1698 and 1706).
The most unexpected of these memorial volumes was A Collection of Ayres, Compos’d for the Theatre, and upon other Occasions (1697). Ayres for the Theatre, as it was known for short, was the first printed collection devoted entirely to the incidental music used in the London theatres. It marked the point at which this repertory, hitherto largely confined to theatrical circles, was taken up in public concerts and in the home, and it was the model for a series of more than fifty theatre suites published by Walsh and Hare in the first decade of the eighteenth century. The four part-books of Ayres for the Theatre contain thirteen suites written by Purcell for the London theatres between June 1690 (Dioclesian) and the autumn of 1695 (Bonduca). Despite the mention of ‘other occasions’, the collection only seems to contain theatre music, and it includes all his known theatre suites: the ones for The Double Marriage, Timon of Athens and The Rival Sisters, included in earlier lists of Purcell’s works, are now thought to be by Louis Grabu, James Paisible and John Ridgley.
'The Parley of Instruments up to their usual stellar form' (Stereophile, USA)
'Highly enjoyable!' (Early Music Review)
''Ayres for the Theatre' is a wonderful collection of rich and varied, tuneful music and has been marvellously well recorded by engineer Tony Faulkner … the players set out in almost holographic detail between, beyond, between and in front of the loudspeakers. You could almost be there' (Gramophone 'Soundings')
'Strongly recommended' (Fanfare, USA)
