46 As Ian Spink notes, Purcell reset Turner’s original music for the ‘Song of Devils’ in Act 5. The ‘Symphony for Flat Trumpets’, which preceded the ‘Song of Devils’, is virtually the same march Purcell wrote for the procession carrying Queen Mary’s body to Westminster Abbey in March 1695 (‘Purcell’s Music for “The Libertine” ‘, 520). The ‘Song of Devils’ follows in the same key and uses the same instruments to create an atmosphere of sombre horror moments before the unrepentant Don John descends into hell. A purely textual reading of the play that ignores the musical interludes or spatial relationships will invariably, like Laura Brown, conclude that ‘Shadwell’s play is an exaggeration of the Don John story so outrageous as to be almost ridiculous’.
