Purcell was born in St Ann's Lane, Old Pye Street, Westminster. Henry Purcell Senior,[3] whose older brother Thomas Purcell (d. 1682) was also a musician, was a gentleman of the Chapel Royal and sang at the coronation of King Charles II of England.[4] Henry the elder had three sons: Edward, Henry and Daniel. Daniel Purcell (d. 1717), the youngest of the brothers, was also a prolific composer who wrote the music for much of the final act of The Indian Queen after Henry Purcell's death. Henry Purcell's family lived just a few hundred yards west of Westminster Abbey from the year 1659 and onward.[5] After his father's death in 1664, Purcell was placed under the guardianship of his uncle who showed him great affection and kindness.[6] Thomas was himself a gentleman of His Majesty's chapel, and arranged for Henry to be admitted as a chorister. Henry studied first under Captain Henry Cooke (d. 1672),[7] Master of the Children, and afterwards under Pelham Humfrey (d. 1674), Cooke's successor.[8] Henry was a chorister in the Chapel Royal until his voice broke in 1673, when he became assistant to the organ-builder John Hingston, who held the post of keeper of wind instruments to the King.[5] Purcell is said to have been composing at nine years old, but the earliest work that can be certainly identified as his is an ode for the King's birthday, written in 1670.[9] (The dates for his compositions are often uncertain, despite considerable research.) It is assumed that the three-part song "Sweet tyranness, I now resign" was written by him as a child.[6] After Humfrey's death, Purcell continued his studies under Dr. John Blow. He attended Westminster School and in 1676 was appointed copyist at Westminster Abbey.[4] Henry Purcell's earliest anthem "Lord, who can tell" was composed in 1678. It is a psalm that is prescribed for Christmas Day and also to be read at morning prayer on the fourth day of the month.[10] In 1679, he wrote some songs for John Playford's Choice Ayres, Songs and Dialogues and also an anthem, the name of which is not known, for the Chapel Royal. From a letter written by Thomas Purcell, and still extant, we learn that this anthem was composed for the exceptionally fine voice of the Rev. John Gostling, then at Canterbury, but afterwards a gentleman of His Majesty's chapel. Purcell wrote several anthems at different times for Gostling's extraordinary basso profondo voice, which is known to have had a range of at least two full octaves, from D below the bass staff to the D above it. The dates of very few of these sacred compositions are known; perhaps the most notable example is the anthem "They that go down to the sea in ships." In gratitude for the providential escape of King Charles II from shipwreck, Gostling, who had been of the royal party, put together some verses from the Psalms in the form of an anthem and requested Purcell to set them to music. The work is a very difficult one, opening with a passage which traverses the full extent of Gostling's range, beginning on the upper D and descending two octaves to the lower.

Henry Purcell (/ˈpɜ:səl/ o /pársel/) fue un compositor británico del Barroco. Nació el 10 de septiembre de 1659 en St Ann's Lane, Old Pye Street (Westminster) y falleció el 21 de noviembre de 1695 en Dean's Yard (Westminster). Esta considerado el mejor compositor inglés de todos los tiempos.1 Purcell incorporó elementos estilísticos franceses e italianos, generando un estilo propio inglés de música barroca.Purcell nació en el condado de St. Anne, Westminster. Su padre, también de nombre Henry Purcell, fue caballero de la Capilla Real, y cantó en la coronación del Rey Carlos II de Inglaterra. Fue el mayor de tres hermanos, de los cuales el menor Daniel Purcell (fallecido en 1717), fue igualmente un prolífico compositor. Tras la muerte de su padre, en 1664, Henry Purcell quedó bajo la custodia de su tío Thomas Purcell (muerto en 1682), quien mostró por él afecto y cariño. Thomas era asimismo caballero de la Capilla del Rey y gestionó la admisión de Henry como miembro del coro. Henry estudió primero con Henry Cooke, maestro de los niños, y luego con Pelham Humfrey, sucesor de Cooke. Se dice que Purcell comenzó a componer a los 9 años de edad, pero la primera obra que puede ser identificada con certeza como de su autoría es la Oda para el cumpleaños del rey escrita en 1670 (Las fechas de sus composiciones son a menudo inciertas, a pesar de la considerable investigación). Después de la muerte de Humfrey, Purcell continuó sus estudios con el Dr. John Blow, mientras asistía a la Escuela de Westminster. En 1676 fue nombrado ayudante organista de la Abadía de Westminster y compuso obras como Aureng-Zebe, Epsom Wells y La libertina. En 1675 escribió varias canciones para Aires, canciones y diálogos elegidos (de John Playford) y también un himno de nombre actualmente desconocido para la Capilla Real. A través de una carta escrita por Thomas Purcell, sabemos que el himno fue escrito para la excepcional voz del reverendo John Gostling, entonces en Canterbury, pero posteriormente Caballero de la Capilla del Rey. Purcell escribió muchos himnos en diferentes momentos para esta extraordinaria voz, un bajo profundo, que se sabe tenía una tesitura de al menos dos octavas completas, desde re2 hasta re4. Se conocen datos de unos pocos de estos himnos; quizás el más notable ejemplo es They that go down to the sea in ships, compuesto en agradecimiento por un providencial salvamento de un naufragio sufrido por el rey. Gostling, que acompañaba en la oportunidad al rey, reunió varios versos de los Salmos en forma de himno, y le pidió a Purcell que compusiera la música. La obra resulta todavía hoy de una interpretación muy difícil, incluyendo un pasaje que atraviesa toda la tesitura de la voz de Gotling. En 1677 compuso la música para la tragedia de Aphra Behn Abdelazar y en 1678 una obertura y mascarada para la nueva versión de Shadwell sobre Timon de Atenas (de Shakespeare). El coro de La libertina «In These Delightfull Pleasant Groves» se interpreta frecuentemente. En este año se convirtió en Compositor de la Orquesta de Cuerda "Violínes del Rey". Joeur: Simon Preston.
Johann Christian Bach Johann Sebastian Bach Haydn Rondeau Clementi Hanover Band 1735 1762 1777 1782 1912
Johann Christian Bach (September 5, 1735 – January 1, 1782) was a German composer of the Classical era, the eighteenth child of Johann Sebastian Bach, and the youngest of his eleven sons. After a spell in Italy, Bach moved to London in 1762, where he became known as "the London Bach". He is also sometimes known as "the English Bach", and during his time spent living in the British capital, he came to be known as John Bach. He is noted for playing a role in influencing the concerto styles of Haydn and Mozart. He contributed significantly to the development of the new sonata principle.

Rondeau: Allegro (37:33) Anthony Halstead, fortepiano & the Hanover Band Details by Susan Alexander-Max: Johann Christian’s music was widely heard in London and his position as the English Bach won increasing recognition, ensuring him the greatest success of the musical Bach family during his lifetime. Greatly influenced by his studies in Italy and in Italian style, he became known as the master of the galant. This was a term applied to the style that developed in the latter half of the eighteenth century, suggesting a return to classical simplicity after the complexity of the late Baroque era. In very simple terms, it meant simpler music, with less ornamentation, more importance placed on the melody, and less on the bass line. The phrases tended to be of regular length, and the harmonic vocabulary emphasized principally the tonic and dominant. It was, in many ways, a reaction against the more elaborate and pretentious Baroque style. Johann Christian’s ability to make the new fortepiano his own won even more favour in public circles. Indeed, whilst Clementi was still performing on the old harpsichord in London, Johann Christian was charming his audiences with the new keyboard. Composed in the 1770s, his keyboard concertos represent some of the best examples of all his keyboard works and incorporate all that was admired in their day. All in three movements, the traditional fast – slow – fast, they are stylish and elegant, graceful and galant. Johann Christian wooed his audiences using the grace and charm of the Italian style whilst involving and intertwining the folk elements of his adoptive country. How better to please the Queen! The Concerto in D major, Op.13, No.2, is the second of a set of six piano concertos published in 1777, under the title: “A Third Sett of Six Concertos for the Harpsichord, or PianoForte. With Accompaniments for two Violins and a Bass, two Hautboys and two French Horns ad Libitum. Humbly Dedicated to Mrs. Pelham and composed by John Christian Bach Music Master to Her Majesty the Queen of Great Britain”. It was the custom in all of his concertos for the pianoforte to play the figured bass in orchestral pasages. This means that the piano is playing throughout: it plays the figured bass to accompany the orchestra as well as its own solo part.
Forty Westchester seniors recently showcased what theyve learned in Seniors Come Out Swinging, a five-week (10 session) ballroom dancing workshop sponsored by the Westchester Library System and Lifetime Arts, Inc. The culminating performance, held on Valentines Day at the Grinton I. Will Library in Yonkers, featured post-WWII era dance numbers with live music from the Virgil Scott Orchestra. The workshop series, led by Karen Schneider, Carlos Sampelayo (dance), and Denise Cachoian (visual arts), began January 12 and, due to its high demand, had to be split into three classes.
