Henry Purcell

I've never heard this, but Grieg IS a real composer and I wouldn't be
surprised if Pete had a go at him. Kit Lambert got Pete interested in
classical music, and encouraged him to write an opera. Pete was/is also a
fan of 16th-17th century composer Henry Purcell. Check out some of his
work and you'll definitely see the influence.
