'David Starkey's Music and Monarchy'

[Padraig]

Daz ok by me

What's Daz'l's music like? Sounds a bit Flashy.

[french frank]

EDIT I've just found this couplet from Dryden:
Now live secure and linger all your days,
The Gods are please'd alone with Purcell's lays.

Gerard Manley Hopkins rhymed Purcell and reversal. Flanders and Swann rhymed Purcell and rehearsal. All of these point to the washing powder version!

And the variant spellings of the name included Pursill and Pursall which support that.

Right, well we'll see what the Host says, jean. Probably better to leave them as they are.

I've copied all these posts to the 'General' thread, thereby reactivating it since the forthcoming programme, covering as it does the 19th & 20th centuries, is hardly 'early music'...

Isn't Fairy queen of the washing powders/detergents?

If the tide is turning , I intend to Surf the wave.

We may have teetered OT here, KK.......

Maybe our friends and colleagues 'across the seas' have a better knowledge.
Nearly 40 years ago, in 1975, when I was working in Hong Kong I was asked to accompany ( on piano) a young British trumpet player in a broadcast recital - Crispian Steele-Perkins.
In his introductory 'chat' he cited the composer of several trumpet works: 'Henry P'CELL ' at which point the radio 'station manager' stopped the tape recorder and asked Crispian to use the 'correct pronunciation' - 'Henry PURcell'.
