Description

Purcell - Sonatas 1-6 for Three Euphoniums - Volume 1Purcell's Twelve Sonatas of 1683 are a blend or hybrid of French and Italian Baroque 17th Century musical styles. The six Sonatas of Volume 1 alternate between major and minor keys. Each work consists of several short movements, ranging between melancholy and joyous. Especially delightful are the dissonances that the composer intersperses throughout each work. Each Sonata is about seven minutes in length, and they are an absolute pleasure to perform.

The sound samples are from a masterclass at the 2012 Music Academy of the West with Steven Warren
