Minuet A minor, Z649_by Purcell, Henry

(I did an impromptu recording by my mobile phone, so the lighting was not too good. However, I hope the phone-recorded-audio is still decent).

I could not find much info about this short Minuet or why the composer, Henry Purcell, wrote it.  Perhaps someone (this forum) knows a tad more? 

Nonetheless, I found the tune beautiful and somber (it being in a minor key signature); thus I believe it is suitable as a piece for Memorial Day Tribute!

About the composer:  Henry Purcell was a English composer of the middle Baroque period (Source: Britannica at  https://www.britannica.com/bio.....ry-Purcell).

The sheet music is attached. (I found it in public domain music.)

Oh, it was just fine with the phone recording.

Thank you for including the public domain sheet music, too. Looks like something I actually might be able to do. Thanks.
