Henry Purcell
Information about Henry Purcell
Henry Purcell (/ˈpɜːrsəl, pərˈsɛl/; c. 10 September 1659[Note 1] – 21 November 1695 ) was an English composer. Although he incorporated Italian and French stylistic elements, Purcell's was a uniquely English form of Baroque music. He is generally considered to be one of the greatest English composers; no later native-born English composer approached his fame until Edward Elgar, Ralph Vaughan Williams, Gustav Holst, William Walton and Benjamin Britten in the 20th century.
