Shoutout to S.P Score Videos > kzbin.info and Le Sheet Music Boi, alias "Tage" > kzbin.info/door/GN3RVAodiogEyT4PSwIavg without their help, I would not have the knowledge to edit my score-videos at a rate of 2000x faster than I could do so manually, so expect more quantity, at no expense to quality.

Purcell's harmony is perfect. Every voice is exquisite. The only other composer who could consistently pull that off was Bach.

Ouverture à la Française is grandiose. Veiled in a dusky obscure tragic colorite.

Purcell Young genius above above all UK baroque

Gracias de verdad por estas musicas

[@andresvillaloboslepiz]

Beautiful. The Ouverture is similar in style (and key!) to Handel's Concerto Op. 6 no. 10. Would not be surprised to learn Handel took some ideas from Purcell!

Interesting!

[@musicabarocca8706]

Great. Thanks.

Corelli was a good teacher for Purcell. And Purcell was the same for Handel.

[@TheOneAndOnlyZeno]

All masters - I enjoy all their music.

[@igorrromanov]

Greatest English music EVER. My dearest genial Georgy is not counted, as he was German. So, there is no rivalry.

Thank you for the upload I still remember listening to somewhat slower version of this suite on YT, that totally vanished... Does anyone know about it? Would be so appreciated!

What’s it called where they play the eighth notes and lower half as long

[@TheOneAndOnlyZeno]

Can you timestamp? Not entirely sure what you mean

[@AMC08]

@@TheOneAndOnlyZeno for example the overture it sounds like the 16 notes are played as 32nd and in my strings program we played it that way, I forget what it was called

[@TheOneAndOnlyZeno]

Oh, that is just the French style of playing, historically @@AMC08

[@AMC08]

@@TheOneAndOnlyZenois there a name for it? in my string program we did this suite and my teacher called it something

[@santiagomendoza973]

It's french inegalitè ​@@AMC08

[@southfloridaarcheryguy114]

Someone rewrote that overture in the French style.

[@lerippletoe6893]

Interesting, are you saying that Purcell himself had notated it literally? I know they would double the dotting compared to how it's written, which is what's done in the recording as compared to how this score shows it.
