This First Volume Of A Magisterial Twovolume Survey Of English Music Charts Its Development From Its Beginnings To About 1715. It Looks At The Music Of Early Monastic Institutions And The Development Of Polyphony, Including The Extraordinarily Advanced Midthirteenthcentury Canon, 'Sumeris Icumen In.' It Deals With The First Golden Age Of English Music, Namely The Midfifteenthcentury Composers Represented In The Old Hall Manuscript, Such As Dunstable And Power. It Looks At The Remarkable Flowering Of Sixteenthcentury Choral Music, Of Which Tallis'S 'Spem In Alium' Is A Splendid Example. And It Charts The Rise Of The Carol, The Madrigal, And The Seventeenthcentury Opera And Masque And Instrumental Music, Culminating In The Genius Of Henry Purcell. A Wellbalanced, Judicious Survey, With A Unity Of Style And Outlook Resulting From Its Single Author, The Book Makes A Discussion Of The Actual Music The Focus Of Each Chapter, Without Excluding Social And Historical Comment.
