about

Prelude from the Suite No.6 in D (Z.667) by Henry Purcell (1659 – 1695), found in "A Choice Collection of Lessons for the Harpsichord or Spinnet".

Arranged for lute by Ron Andrico.

Purcell's keyboard suites were compiled and published posthumously in 1696 by Henry Playford for the benefit of Purcell's widow, Frances. Playford published a great deal of Purcell's vocal music in settings for voice(s) and lightly figured bass, with the theorbo-lute indicated as an alternative choice to keyboard for accompaniments. This prelude suits the lute well with its characteristic arpeggiation, and may perhaps work to even better advantage due to the lute's ability to lend clearer separation to the treble and bass.
