About this item
The continuo part is not essential providing the string parts are complete and well-balanced, but it should be retained, if possible, in accordance with 17th century practice. The continuo plays from the score, two copies of which are included in a standard pack of parts. A 3rd violin part is provided as an alternative to viola. The arrangements are satisfactory for a minimum combination of recorders, 2 violins and piano. The three pieces are "Rondo", "Bird Prelude" and "Echo Dance".
Instrumentation

Composer
Henry Purcell (1659-1695)
Henry Purcell (10 September 1659 – 21 November 1695), was an English organist and Baroque composer of secular and sacred music. Although Purcell incorporated Italian and French stylistic elements into his compositions, his legacy was a uniquely English form of Baroque music. He is generally considered to be one of the greatest English composers; no other native-born English composer approached his fame until Edward Elgar.
