Files made using Chris Hills's MidiPlay

Henry Purcell

King Arthur
or The British Worthy

This page is Acts 1 and 2. Acts 3 and 4 are on the next page,
Act 5 the page after that.

If you know of a Website from which can freely and lawfully be downloaded a printable Vocal 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.

There is an excellent performance of this Work by BarokOpera Amsterdam, Frederique Chauvet, direction, on YouTube starting here.

Here is a "clickable" Table of the available Midi Files for this Work. My thanks to Jean-Charles Malahieude, whose CPDL Midi Files I made much use of.
