King Arthur Opera Vocal Score 珀瑟爾 聲樂總譜 聲樂

《亞瑟王》是普賽爾專業製作的歌劇中唯一一部被設計為半歌劇的作品；其他作品均改編自早期的戲劇。德萊頓真正嘗試了將音樂融入戲劇，但由於他遵循了當時的戲劇慣例，幾乎將音樂局限於寓言或超自然生物及其崇拜者，或僕人、牧羊人和類似角色，因此主要的動作大多發生在口語部分，甚至兩個歌唱角色菲力德爾和格裡姆巴德說得也比唱得多"

原文簡介:
King Arthur was the only one of Purcell's professionally produced operas to have been designed as a semi-opera; the others were all adaptations of earlier plays. Dryden made a real attempt to integrate the music into the drama, but since he ascribed to the dramatic conventions of the period which virtually confined music to allegorical or supernatural beings and their worshippers, or servants, shepherds and similar characters, the main action mostly occurs in the spoken sections, and even the two singing characters, Philidel and Grimbald speak more than they sing.
