It is unclear what these are arranged from. One WorldCat entry says "Symphony from his opera The Indian queen, Z. 630 (14).--Prelude from his incidental music to Theodosius or the force of love, Z 606(4a).--Ritornello from his Ye tuneful muses, raise your heads, Z.334 (9k)" in its Contents section. But that is at odds with the Notes section that says "An English suite is made up of three pieces Purcell wrote for recorders and basso continuo or cembalo ..." because The Indian Queen, The Force of Love, and Ye tuneful muses were not originally recorder pieces. The title page also references recorder works. Any confirmation of where these 3 movements came from would be helpful.
