English music under the last Stuarts: Works of Locke, Blow, and Purcell 

After the rich so-called Elizabethan period, which lasted well into the 17th century, various Italian and French forms, genres, and practices were adopted into English music. The sonata replaced the old consort of violes, the basso continuo became indispensable, the violin had its first virtuosos—they came from overseas, of course—and Charles II established a 24-string orchestra to play various dances in the French manner. The ‘Merry Monarch’ also maintained a ‘private musick’, a chamber ensemble that played for his pleasure. But despite these strong influences, English music in the second half of the 17th century developed its unique spin, an expressiveness and harmonic daring which were all its own.

 

Musique anglaise sous les derniers Stuarts: Œuvres de Locke, Blow et Purcell

Après la riche période dite « élisabéthaine », qui se poursuit assez avant dans le XVIIe siècle, les formes, genres et usages italiens et français font leur entrée dans la musique anglaise. La sonate remplace l’ancien consort de violes, la basse continue devient indispensable, le violon connaît ses premiers virtuoses, venus il est vrai de l’étranger, tandis que Charles II met sur pied un orchestre de 24 cordes pour jouer diverses danses à la manière française. Le « Merry Monarch » entretient également une private musick, ensemble de chambre qui joue pour son agrément. Mais malgré ces fortes influences, la musique anglaise de ce second XVIIe siècle montre un tour, une expression et une audace harmonique qui n’appartiennent qu’à elle…
