Description:
Alfred Ernest Floyd was born in Aston, Birmingham in 1877 and after attaining a Doctorate of Music and work in the UK came to Australia in 1915 to take up the position of organist and Choir Director at St Paul’s Cathedral, Melbourne a position he held for 32 years.

Two Airs from ‘Bonduca” by Henry Purcell (1659 - 1695).
This was Purcell’s last major work written in 1695.

No details of when these airs were arranged, they may have been student works so I’ve played them on the St Anne’s organ which is only a few Kms from where Floyd was born.
