Purcell - Chaconne from The Fairy Queen
Sheet music for flute
| Info: | The Fairy-Queen (Z.629) is a masque or semi-opera by Henry Purcell, a "Restoration spectacular". The libretto is an anonymous adaptation of William Shakespeare's wedding comedy A Midsummer Night's Dream. The Fairy-Queen was composed three years before Purcell's death at the age of 35. Following his death, the score was lost and only rediscovered early in the twentieth century. |
