They have been devised by Anthony Lewis , whose Music Anthology series was broadcast in the Third Programme last season. Besides Don Quixote , The Tempest, and the ' Ode for St. Cecilia's Day' (1683), Purcell Anthology will include several of the ' Welcome Songs ' (which are scarcely ever heard), a number of the vocal, duets, and the twelve ' Sonatas of Three Parts'
