Purcell, Fourteen Catches -sc [Mag:MK00045]

Fourteen Catches -sc. Contributors: Purcell. Recorder Trios (SSS/TTT). Score. Publisher's category: Recorder Trios.

Henry Purcell (1659 - 1695), a Baroque composer, is generally considered to be one of Englands greatest composers — indeed, he has often been called Englands finest native composer. Purcell incorporated Italian and French stylistic elements but devised a peculiarly English style of Baroque music.
Among the contents of volume XXII (from which these pieces have been taken) of the complete edition of Purcells works are well over 50 canons (or catches). Purcell may have written them for his circle of friends which is the conclusion to which the words of the canons - most of them jovial and some of them rather coarse - lead us.
