Dale Carr | Suite no. 7 in d by Henry Purcell, Z.668, performed by Dale Carr on 7 October 1989 @dalecarr6361 | Uploaded May 2021 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Suite no. 7 in d by Henry Purcell, Z.668:
- Prelude
- Almand very slow Bell=barr
- Corant
Performed by Dale Carr in the Pelstergasthuiskerk in Groningen on 7 October 1989 on a harpsichord built in 1975 by Hendrik Broekman, modeled on an instrument by Michel Richard, 1688
The prelude performed here is from a different suite {that in D major, Z.667}, and I have changed it to d minor - a minor adjustment, one might say - to match the almand & corant, since their suite has no prelude of its own. I have treated it as an unmeasured prelude in the French style.
Nobody seems to know why the almand has the name of a hamlet at the south end of Hatfield Park in Hertfordshire as a subtitle.
Both the almand & the corant have a lot of notes written to be played after the beat; I think this may indicate some kind of rubato, but I have never seen an explanation.
