Purcells Theatermusik, die hauptsächlich in den letzten fünf Jahren seines Lebens geschrieben wurde, ist eine reichhaltige und abwechslungsreiche Sammlung einiger der besten melodischen Inspirationen des Komponisten. Dazu gehören feierliche Ouvertüren, fröhliche und traurige Lieder sowie entzückende Tänze, die entweder in die Handlung des Stücks integriert sind oder als Vor- und Zwischenspiele aufgeführt werden. Dieser erste Band der Reihe enthält viele Perlen wie die erotisch-musikalische Zerstreuung in Amphitryon in Form eines Pastoraldialogs zwischen Thyrsis und Iris, dem verliebten Hirten, der um seinen Herzenswunsch bettelt und ihm schließlich erfüllt wird, und die Reihe der Tänze in The Gordian Knot Unty'd, von denen das Rondeau, das Menuett und die abschließende Chacone die reizvollsten sind.
Written mostly during the last five years of his life, Purcell's Theatre Music is a rich and varied collection of some of the composer's finest melodic inspirations. They include solemn overtures, cheerful and sad songs, as well as delightful dances, either incorporated into the action of the play or performed as preludes and interludes. This first volume of the series includes many gems such as the erotic musical diversion in Amphitryon which takes the form of a Pastoral Dialogue betwixt Thyrsis and Iris, the amorous shepherd begging for, and finally being granted, his heart's desire; and the series of dances in The Gordian Knot Unty'd, the most delightful of which are the Rondeau, Minuett and the final Chacone.
