At the age of 20, Henry Purcell entered his 14 Fantasias and two In Nomines into an autograph bearing the title 'The Works of Hen; Purcell, A.D. 1680'. Despite his youth, Purcell was already making his mark as a composer, writing music for the London theatres and holding posts at Westminster Abbey and at court. But unlike his works for the theatre and the church, which were intended for specific occasions, very little is known about the impulse behind fantasias.
