Henry Purcell, renowned English composer of the seventeenth century, as with many other authors who developed his work during the beginning of the late Baroque in Europe, used the trumpet in some of his scores: both those raised under the concept of music for scene, such as the orchestral, together with sacred or instrumental music. Even though trumpet did not appear in a high percentage of his legacy, Purcell was a reference in this historical English musical period for the consolidation and instrumentation of it in the various genres referred to, as a heritage especially taken from the Italian style. Despite the fact that the England of the time was somewhat isolated artistically for political reasons with respect to the aesthetics and technique carried out in the rest of the continent, Purcell began to implement very elaborate and developed instrumentation with the trumpet, thanks to the fact that he met the talented family saga of English trumpeters: the Shores. With great confidence, both Matthias Shore and his son John, in addition to offering their friendship to Purcell, also offered him many of the technical and musical resources of the instrument, as well as guarantees for a good interpretation. In this way, the great English composer was able to treat the trumpet parts brilliantly in some of his works. This article aims to collect in Spanish all the trumpet works of the British master.
El reconocido compositor inglés del siglo XVII Henry Purcell, al igual que ocurrió con muchos otros autores que desarrollaron su obra durante los prolegómenos del Barroco tardío en Europa, empleó la trompeta en algunas de sus partituras: tanto las planteadas bajo la concepción de música para la escena, como la orquestal, la sacra o la instrumental. Aun no apareciendo la trompeta en un alto porcentaje de su legado, Purcell fue un referente en este periodo histórico musical inglés para la consolidación e instrumentación de la misma en los diversos géneros referidos, como herencia especialmente tomada del estilo italiano. A pesar de que la Inglaterra de la época estuviera un tanto aislada artísticamente por motivos políticos con respecto a la estética y técnica llevada a cabo en el resto del continente, el maestro británico comenzó a implementar instrumentaciones muy elaboradas y desarrolladas contando con la trompeta. Esto fue así gracias a la coincidencia de Purcell con la talentosa saga familiar de trompetistas ingleses: los Shore. Con mucha seguridad, tanto Matthias Shore como su hijo John, además de brindar su amistad a Purcell, también le ofrecieron muchos datos sobre los recursos técnicos y musicales del instrumento, además de garantías para una buena interpretación. De esta manera, el genial compositor inglés pudo tratar las partes de trompeta de manera brillante en algunas de sus obras. Con este artículo se pretende recoger en castellano todo el trabajo de trompetas del maestro británico.Catalog and study of Henry Purcell´s works which includes the trumpet: the english trumpeters of the shore familyAbstractHenry Purcell, renowned English composer of the seventeenth century, as with many other authors who developed his work during the beginning of the late Baroque in Europe, used the trumpet in some of his scores: both those raised under the concept of music for scene, such as the orchestral, together with sacred or instrumental music.
