The Fairy Queen (Purcell) No.2: Hornpipe - string quartet - Purcell

Purcell composed this opera, which is based on 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' by Shakespeare, in 1692. Much of the instrumental music from the opera translates very well to a small ensemble arrangement and can be performed successfully by a competent group without a problem. This is number two of six and is a prelude.
