Henry Purcell (1658 1695) is generally considered as one of the greatest English composers. He incorporated Italian and French stylistic elements into his compositions and made uniquely English baroque music. He has a rich production as composer, with works for orchestra, church, scene and vocal. In 1692, three years before his dead, he composed music to «The Fairy Queen», who is a masque or semi opera who is a revised version of William Shakespeare’s wedding comedy «A Midsummer Night’s Dream». This arrangement of Symphony is the overture to act number four.
