Tod vor der Haustür
Henry Purcell war kein langes Leben beschieden – mit 36 Jahren starb er, der Legende nach an einer
Erkältung, die er sich zuzog, als er in einer kalten Spätherbstnacht nach einem Kneipenbummel die eigene Haustür verschlossen fand: Seine Frau soll die Diener angewiesen haben, den Nachtschwärmer nach Mitternacht nicht mehr einzulassen. Purcell war da schon ein berühmter Mann und England ehrte seinen »Orpheus Britannicus« mit einem Staatsbegräbnis in Westminster Abbey.
