This disc of English theatre music of the 17th century brings together composers of different generations, from Robert Johnson to Henry Purcell. The music covers a variety of compositions with different functions, while overtures and curtain tunes were performed before the curtain rose, dances would certainly be part of the action on stage. This can be summed up by the piece on this disc of Mathew Locke’s music for The Tempest, it framed the action without actually being part of it.
