The Indian Queen

Album by Henry Purcell & Deller Consort & The King’s Musick & Alfred Deller

The Indian Queen is a semi-opera by English composer Henry Purcell, first performed in 1695. The work exemplifies late 17th-century English Baroque theatre music, blending vocal numbers, choruses and instrumental dances with theatrical spectacle and representing one of Purcell's later stage compositions, left incomplete at his death.
