Programme note:
In 1694 Henry Purcell composed a suite of short pieces to accompany the play "The Virtuous Wife, or, Good Luck at Last" by Thomas D'Urfey. Some sources do not include the Air, a setting of the French popular tune 'La Furstenburg', as part of the suite but this arrangement matches it with one of the two Minuets.
