| Instrumentation: str=5.5(5).5.5.5 |
| Comments: MUSICK'S HANDMAIDEN: March, DIDO AND AENEAS: Dido's Lament, THE INDIAN QUEEN: Trumpet Tune. |
| Description: Robert Washburn has chosen three marvelously compatible works from this master: March, from a collection of harpsichord pieces titled Musick's Handmaiden, Dido's Lament, from the opera Dido and Aeneas, and Trumpet Tine, from the incidental music to a play The Indian Queen. This is beautifully characteristic music of the 17th Century, carefully selected and scored for today's string orchestras. |
