		Purcell wrote several anthems at different times for this extraordinary voice, a basso profondo, which is known to have had a range of at least two full octaves, from D below the bass staff to the D above it.
		The cause of Purcell's death is unclear: one theory is that he caught a chill after returning late from the theatre one night to find that his wife had locked him out; another is that he succumbed to chocolate poisoning; perhaps the most likely is that he died of tuberculosis.
		Purcell is buried adjacent to the organ in Westminster Abbey.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 02.04.13
		Purcell argues that the Greeks of this period were united by linguistic, cultural, and organizational continuities or "homogeneities," and that these widespread similarities suggest both "movement within the Greek world" and connections to the non-Greek world as well -- the cultures that bounded the Greek world (36).
		Purcell builds up a picture of a world wherein information was passed between the numerous microregions of the Mediterranean via local elites, a process which facilitated the maritime exchange of commodities and the consequent movement of populations throughout the first millennium (49-54).
		While Purcell is quite convincing on the mobility of individual ancient Greeks, it is very difficult to imagine the type of Greek community which would have participated in these widespread movements; and it is precisely where he attempts to describe the structure of society in mobile Greece that his argument seems weakest.

		Henry Purcell's reputation in modern times owes much to the efforts of Michael Tippett who, from the 1940s onwards, conducted many performances of his major works and, in collaboration with the baroque music specialist, Walter Bergmann, published editions of several of his solo songs.
		He became fascinated with Purcell's deploymnet of the ground bass with variations and made use of the technique in all his subsequent music - from the slow movement of his
		Thereafter, Tippett and Britten in their own way emulated and extended Purcell's vocal style - a style that was florid and flexible, sensitive to the finest nuances of meaning and accentuation.

	Stolpa, Henry Purcell and Gerard Manley Hopkins: Two Explorations of Identity PIPA Volume 2 (1999)
		Beginning in the epigraph, Purcell is both connected to and distinguished from the group of "other musicians." While he is distinct from this group because of his "divine genius," he is inherently a member of the larger group of musicians.
		They are, in their structure, representative of Purcell’s verse anthems as a whole, and the complex interaction between soloists and chorus sheds further light on Hopkins’ exploration of a similar theme of identity in his poem.
		Purcell rises above the group of musicians, as the soloists rise above the chorus; the soloists are then free to interact with each other, just as Purcell is able to interact with other individuals, such as Hopkins, through the experience of his music.

		Purcell's reputation in modern times owes much to the efforts of Michael Tippett (1905-1998) who from the 1940s onwards conducted many performances of his major works and, in collaboration with the baroque music specialist Walter Bergmann, published editions of several of his solo songs.
		Purcell wrote three settings, the second a slightly modified version of the first (the one recorded here); in his third version of 1695 he produced an entirely new, theatrical treatment of the text.
		Just as Purcell was stimulated by the potential of professional singers, so did Tippett's invention as composer of solo songs take wing when he was offered the opportunity to write for artists of the calibre of Peter Pears.

	Literary Encyclopedia: Purcell, Henry
		Still, a large part of Purcell’s achievement does lie in his settings of English-language texts--in verse mainly, but also in the prose of the Bible and the Anglican prayer book--and it is perhaps on these that a survey of his work in an encyclopaedia such as this should focus.
		Purcell could be more risqué, and at the same time more contrapuntally ingenious, in the songs he wrote for the gentlemen to sing once the ladies had withdrawn or for occasions when the gentlemen (or indeed Purcell’s colleagues the professional court--and Abbey-musicians) were stag-partying at the tavern or the coffee-house.
		Purcell had also--quite possibly in the middle of that decade--collaborated with Nahum Tate on an hour-long through-sung opera with a strong dance element, Dido and Aeneas, which its comparative brevity and the lack of documented commercial performances in the composer’s lifetime make clear was not intended for the public playhouses.

	Henry Purcell: a concise biography
		Henry Purcell'." Legend has it that when, in 1679, Purcell succeeded Dr. Blow as organist of Westminster Abbey, the elder musician stepped aside in recognition of the greater genius, and it is true that on Purcell's death in 1695 Blow returned to the post, and would write a noble Ode on the Death of Purcell.
		By the time Henry Purcell began to attend such concerts in the 1670s there were many highly skilled players of the violin, cello, and flute, as well as exponents of the (for London) relatively new art of playing continuo instruments, the most usual being the organ and the harpsichord.
		Most of Purcell's theatre music was written between 1690 and 1695 (the year of his death), and within that relatively brief period he supplied music for more than forty plays.

	Other Criticisms
		Purcell argued, “the disillusionment was far shallower and more narrowly circumscribed than often claimed and the book’s cultural criticism was suffused with optimism” (81).
		Purcell’s argument is significant in that it implies that merely speaking out against certain problems in our society is not enough to spur a change.
		Moreover, Purcell has more meaningful insight into Stearns speculations because he was writing in the 1980’s and he has been able to evaluate the impact Stearns criticism had on changing the tribulations of the 1920’s culture.
