Social Sciences

In this colorful biography, Jonathan Keates deftly traces  the life and career of the greatest English composer, Henry Purcell,  against the backdrop of the turbulent political, religious, theatrical,  and social movements of his time.  Following the composer through his  extraordinarily prolific career, as chorister at the Chapel Royal, as  composer for theater and court, as writer of sacred music, chamber music,  and the first British opera, Keates shows how Purcell's musical genius  both embraced and transcended the tensions of Restoration England to give  his era and culture an unforgettable voice.
