I was looking for a song by Purcell, and came across the fact that he'd done a semi-opera called King Arthur. Somehow I'd never heard about this. Apparently it's quite different from the legends, but it is the Britons against the Saxons, and Arthur and Merlin are in it. (No Guinevere, instead, Arthur's love interest is a blind girl). I shall have to listen to the rest of it now.



This was what I was originally looking for. "She loves and she confesses" by Purcell, I love this.
