No. 1 Symphony

Purcell’s Ode begins with an instrumental Symphony for Trumpets and Timpani, Oboes and Bassoon,

Strings and continuo. It is an extensive movement in 4 sections, with the first two constituting a French

overture:

- Grave, tutti, 10 measures

- Canzona, tutti without Timpani A brisk fugal movement with two subjects. 36 measures.

- Adagio: Oboes, strings & continuo, in triple time. 47 measures. Purcell ended this section with

the following note:

Repeat the Canzona and the Adagio again as before and so goe on.

This is observed in the Full Score and orchestral parts of this edition.

- Allegro, tutti, 3/8 time. 52 measures.

An effective piano version of this Symphony would require virtuoso technique, because the writing is

complex and layered. An organ transcription would be possible, but for this vocal score the editor has

chosen to omit the music entirely, while providing singers with this description. Those wishing to see

the material directly should consult the Full Score.
