more intellectual demand. The trend
Of the day. however, was for light and
airy music, even In the anthems of the
church. and Purcell was not above
providing such music to please the
tastes OF his patrons Purcell was par
tial to the popular English form, the
Fantasie or Fancy, but the King de-
tested 1t and consequently the COM
poser laid 1t aside and gave his atten-
tion to other things.
WERE 1t not for the poet Dryden,
who collaborated with Purcell in
the writing OF the opera King Ar.
thur" and whose influence was consid-
cradle on the composer, much Of his
finest music might not have been
written. Dryden once wrote of the
musician, Sometimes a hero in an
age appears. But scare a Purcell in
thousand years" His imprint on Bach
and Handel is perceivable and if he
has not attained their height in the
eyes of the present generation. the
trace Of his genius in the works OF
these great men and Of others cannot
be ignored
The 10 Fantasies in this collection
are gems in themselves, rich in melo-
die turn and inventiveness in con-
Struction. The old world atmosphere
is captured by the use of the viola da
gambia and the harpsichord in the re-
cording OF the Sonata in F Major"
for two violins with figured bass. The
harpsichord is also used as accom-
paniment for the songs. together with
the cello, although the catches" are,
OF course, sung q cappella. This latter
form OF song, extremely popular in
those times. was difficult OF execution,
and many societies were formed to
specialize in the singing of this form
Of vocal fugue.
The name Of Purcell has not been
allowed to be forgotten In England, for
the Purcell Club and the Purcell So
ciety IN the last century did much to
collect and make known his works.
Many OF his compositions, notably his
FANTASIES" are now in the British
Museum, little used publicly until the
organization Of the English Music So
ciety, which made the recordings re-
