Henry Playford

Henry Playford (1657 - c. 1707) was the younger son of John Playford and his only known surviving child. He was a music publisher and was in business with his father. He lived in Arundel Street in London and had a shop near Temple Church 1685-1695 then in Temple Change 1695-1704 and finally in Middle Temple Gate in 1706. Many of his publications were of a transient nature and were aimed at favourite songs and instrumental pieces for public entertainments, such as the pleasure garden concerts much in vogue. He revised his father's "The Dancing Master" and published Thomas d'Urfey's "Wit and Mirth" and Henry Purcell's "Orpheus Britannicus".
