Your Counsel is all

Pg. 169 Trk 31
Purcell composed each scene in a
single key (with some interruptions
as we discussed). Below are the
keys, you name what it represents.
C minor
The key
representing Dido’s
grief (Scene 1)
C major
The key representing D
& A mutual love for
each other (Scene 2)
G Minor
Dido’s Death
Scene VI
Bb Major
The Sorceress’s
Success Scene V
Purcell’s use of tonality offers a
clear indication of how Aeneas’s
role should be interpreted.
Name the two places where
Aeneas’s entrance disrupts the
tonality.
Shift to e minor in Scene II
Page 101 m. 11 where Aeneas sings of his love yet the music contradicts
this by modulating to e minor with the following chorus “Cupid
Throws the Dart” in e minor. Tonality depicts the disruption caused
by Aeneas’s arrival in Carthage as well as the disturbance that has
occurred in everyone’s emotions.
Shift to a minor in Scene IV
Page 150 Reh Let 28 Trk 24
Fourth scene is in d minor and D major. However in the concluding
monologue occurs in the key of a minor where Aeneas and the spirit
(Mercury) brings on the command of Jove that Aeneas is to wait no
longer in beginning his task of creating a new Troy on Latin soil.
Aeneas consents to the wishes of the Gods, but is not happy that he will
have to leave Dido.

Suspension
Definitions is a note from one chord which is held into the
next chord as a nonharmonic tone and resolved. Example:
When I Am Laid The Bb in measure 7 after Reh Let 38.
(B b held over from g minor chord in m. 6 and resolves to
an inversion of a D7 chord.
Used for laments in Italian Opera,

scale, diatonic or chromatic with a
cadence.
