Files "cleaned" originally

Henry Purcell


The Fairy Queen

The Preludes etc, and Acts I and II, are on this page,
Acts III and IV are on the next page, and
Act V is on the page after that
.

If you know of a Website from which can freely and lawfully be downloaded a printable score for this Work, even though it may not be exactly the same as the one used to make the Midi Files below, please let me know the address.

Here is a "clickable" Table of the available Midi Files for this Work (note that each piece has been transposed a semitone down - from the Score I used - to match the recording I listened to; note also that in that recording many of the pieces contain repeats that are not specified in that Score, and which I have not included in the Midi Files):-
