@jancizmar Where did he call it a Passacaglia? It is called 'Chacone' (sic) in 'A Collection of Ayres' (posthumous, 1697, probably prepared by Daniel Purcell from his brother's [lost] manuscript).
Tak ještě jednou, nemohu jinak: absolutně nádherná verze, přirozená, neumělá, živoucí. Purcell je také o přirozenosti. Absolutně nádherné. Děkuji moc...
The lutenist is truly awesome. Masterful in tonalisation. He seems to make always intelligent choice of timber and resonance. Years ago I wanted to take lute lessons but all the private instructors refused my harpsichord experience as good enough background whilst they insisted on violin, viola or cello as prequisite. I envied lute players ever since for their uncompromising devotion to reach such height in their artistic endevour.
@ahgblopes it is almost impossible to make any definite and general distinction between those two. Their treatment was always individual and varied widely. There is an interesting article in Grove on Chaconne and Passacaglia.
Further I would recommend to read a very nice summary of the problem in the book by Little/Jenne: Dance and music of J.S.Bach. page 199.
Wikipedia has also quite a good article on Chaconne - check it out - and don´t expect any clear answer...
That is nearly the same theme Handel used in his early Coburg Suite from 1704, called Sarabande and only transformed into a minor key !

Is this music structure a sort of canon?
Because I see the same scale over and over in progression.
Beautiful!

Very nice! But, is a Chaconne, not a Passacaglia.
