Product Description

Opus/Catalog Number: Z.570, Movement 8
Key/Tone: B flat Major
Year/Date of Composition: 1695
Difficulty: Grade 3/12 (Easy)
Obs.: This piece is the eighth movement of Purcell's incidental music for Abdelazer, or The Moor's Revenge, Z. 570 (1695), a tragedy by Aphra Behn (1677).
It was originally composed for strings. This version for keyboard of the hornpipe is Purcell's own transcription (hence the letter T in its catalog number Z. T683).
The hornpipe is a rather lively dance whose name probably derives from the single-reed instrument that was originally used to accompany it.
Ornaments were added as a common performance practice in Henry Purcell's time.
