Compositional Strategies in Purcell’s Second Three-Part Fantazia

Year: 2015
Type: article
Abstract: This article examines the sources of Purcell’s second three-part fantazia for evidence pertaining to Purcell’s creative process, both in the autograph and other sources and in the details of the music they preserve. This method, combining paleography and analytical interpretation in light of contemporaneous sources, is proposed as a means of analysis for this repertoire with a demonstrable basis in historically relevant theoretical literature.
