Henry Purcell worked primarily for the English court, serving as a composer and organist for various royal patrons, including King Charles II and later King James II. He held the position of organist at Westminster Abbey and was also associated with the Chapel Royal. His work encompassed a wide range of genres, including Opera, sacred music, and theatrical compositions.
Henry Purcell, from the time he was a choir boy, spent his whole life in music and probably learned by osmosis, so to speak. He possibly studied composition with Matthew Locke or John Blow, or both. These composers were two of the most successful in England in the 2nd half of the 17th century.
