A new biography in the “extraordinary lives” series celebrates the 350th anniversary (in 2009) of Henry Purcell’s birth. Professor Bruce Wood, a leading Purcell specialist, provides insights into the social and political developments during the seventeenth century that played a part in shaping the composer’s career and musical output.
“[This book] is full of historical fact interwoven with documents of the time and Woods’ clever writing style. Its inexpensiveprice belies its true worth to the musical community.”–Donald Callen Freed, for the Choral Journal (April 2010)
