About the event

John Blow Suite from Venus and Adonis

Henry Purcell Suite from Abdelazer

Matthew Locke Music from The Tempest

Endelienta Baroque perform three suites by foremost composers of the English Restoration; Henry Purcell, John Blow, and Matthew Locke.

The music of this programme inherited the French tradition, typified by that of Jean-Baptiste Lully, a style that had proliferated in England upon Charles II’s return from exile.

Locke, as Composer-in-Ordinary to His Majesty, was pivotal in satisfying the Francophile King’s tastes, and his incidental music to The Tempest exhibits all the colour and grace one finds in Lully.
