A Blue Ground

by Leslie Whalley

Based on Purcell's New Ground

This piece started out as a straight transcription of a keyboard piece by Purcell called "A New Ground". I added extra parts which gave it a blues sound. In doing this the ground bass suggested further variations, which I am now working on. So let me issue a challenge: Who can write the best variation. Any offers?
