<p class=just>Purcell was one of the best known English composers of the baroque period, writing operas, plays, songs, etc. He began his musical career as a chorister in the Chapel Royal, and was writing music as early as age 8, when his three part song appeared in Playford’s <i>Catch That Catch Can</i>. Purcell worked as an organ tuner in Westminster Abbey from 1674 to 1678, becoming organist there in 1679. Three years later, he became organist at the Chapel Royal.</p>
