Henry Purcell, one of the greatest composers England has ever produced, lived toward the end of the seventeenth century and was especially fond of the basso ostinato. His works show numerous illustrations of the most varied use of this device. Here is an example taken from his famous opera Dido and Aeneas, a solo song called “Dido’s Lament.” The ground bass is surprisingly chromatic and therefore easy to remember, and the chords above it have a romantic glow about them far in advance of Purcell’s period.
