William Croft - Keyboard Music by Colin Booth Colin Booth : William Croft - Keyboard Music.
 Solo harpsichord music.

Henry Purcell is perhaps England's greatest early music composer. A generation after Purcell came William Croft, whose early style shows the strong influence of his predecessors genius. Croft was wonderfully innovative in his own right, and achieved the same status in English musical life as Purcell had done. Croft lived well into the 18th century, and developed a very different style of music which was to influence Handel after he moved to live in England.

These harpsichord suites by Croft show the huge variety of his music, even when written for a single instrument, and they demonstrate his wonderful gift for melody.
