Programme note:
'Abdelazer', or 'The Moor's Revenge' is a 1676 play by Aphra Behn - one of the first English women to earn her living by her writing. The English composer Henry Purcell wrote incidental music for a revival of the play in the summer of 1695. Purcell's music comprises ten movements, the second of which is the Rondeau. Benjamin Britten used the Rondeau in 1945 as the theme for his set of variations 'The Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra', Op.34.
