  • There's the Zimmerman catalog of Purcell's works. You can look up Purcell in Wikipedia for more info.

  • Album : Ostinato by Jordi Savall & Hespèrion XXI

  • Another Lully piece with the same bass (derived from the Passacaglia pattern) is 'Scocca pur', a piece which Purcell arranged for keyboard.

  • The cd liner notes said the bass is from Lully's Passacaille from Armide.

  • They are wonderful. I have heard quite a few of them, and also have some of them uploaded.

  • Yes. It's the only sonata in the set that has the bass viol playing a ground bass. Otherwise it has an independent part. If you don't know the Purcell sonatas - they are superlative. There are two sets.

  • Not that I know of- I don't know any Purcell with an authentic opus number.

  • Wait, are you sure? Because this piece is in three parts.

  • Thank you very much! Do you know if the "Ten Sonata's in Four Parts" has an opus number?

  • It's from his posthumous "Ten Sonata's in Four Parts (London, 1697)" [Z 802-811]. This is sonata no. 6 in G minor, on a ground bass.
