The majestic Rondeau from the opera Abdelazar has become one of Purcell's most famous tunes due to its use by Benjamin Britten as the theme for his set of symphonic variations known as A Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra. It is one of those melodies that once you have heard it you just can't get it out of your head.
