Ayres for the Theatre

Album by Henry Purcell & The Parley of Instruments & Peter Holman

Ayres for the Theatre is a collection of songs and instrumental pieces by English composer Henry Purcell, first published around 1692. The music is rooted in late Baroque English theatre style, with solo vocal airs set over continuo and occasional instrumental lines, and it comes from Purcell's period of active work for the London stage late in his career.
