Voluntary in e for organ by Matthew Locke performed by Dale Carr in Noordbroek on 7 May, 1996
This voluntary is the first of 8 published in 1673 in Melothesia, which also contains rules for realizing figured baƒs and 6 suites for the harpsichord. Locke was "Composer in Ordinary to His Majesty, and organist of her Majesty's chapel" and was Purcell's predecessor as "composer in ordinary with fee for the violin to his Majesty".
Most English organ works of this period were called 'voluntary' unless a more specific title was appropriate; so I have adopted this title, though it's not in the original print.
Besides the suites and voluntaries for harpsichord and organ, Locke composed incomparable ensemble music for strings and for winds.
The performance used the 4' Spitsfluit of the Rückpositiv, with the tremulant.
