- 'The Island Princess' or 'Generous Portuguese'. A pasticcio in 5 acts by Daniel Purcell, [Jeremiah] Clarke, and [Richard] Leveridge.
- Scope & Content:
-
'The Island Princess' or 'Generous Portuguese': a pasticcio in 5 Acts by Daniel Purcell, [Jeremiah] Clarke, and [Richard] Leveridge, the words adapted by P[ierre] A[nthoine] Motteux from the play by Fletcher. The Opera was written for solo voices and chorus, with symphonies and accompaniments for trumpets, oboes, strings, and drums, in score, and the names of the actors are given (f. 3, etc.) as in the original printed edition of the libretto (1699).
The greater part of the Opera, including the Masque in Act ii, was the work of D. Purcell; Leveridge is responsible for the Dialogue and 'The Enthusiastic Song' in Act iv, and one or two other numbers, and Clarke for the Interlude which follows Act v (f. 49). The MS is in Clarke's hand.
