Lilliburlero Variations for Two Pianos

Three Fantastic Variations on Lilliburlero for Two Pianos is a composition by the British composer Madeleine Dring, published in 1948.[1] Maurice Hinson describes it as being an octatonic work comprising three mildly contemporary, moderately difficult conventional variations in common time that rely too heavily on triplets.[2] The composition takes as its theme Lilliburlero, a dance tune sometimes attributed to Henry Purcell, who published it in his Musick's Handmaid (1689).[1]

David Nettle and Richard Markham have recorded the variations for Netmark (catalogue number NEMACD200, released 11 November 2003).[3]
