Seller's Description:
Good in Good jacket. Size: 23 cm.; Dust jacket condition: Good. Retired library book with usual library markings. Text free of underlining, writing and highlighting. Tightly bound. The art of the song is central to the English musical tradition, and it was in the seventeenth century that it achieved us highest peaks in the works of John Dowland and Henry Purcell. Despite its importance there has never been, before this present survey, a rigorous and comprehensive study of the song literature of the period. Ian Spink, Reader in Music at the Royal Holloway College, London University, examined, in the course of the book's preparation, over 5, 000 songs. It is upon this solid, scholarly foundation that Mr Spink has been able to base his stylistic and critical discussion. His treatment falls into five thematic sections which themselves follow a chronological sequence, unfolding with the century: Lutesong and continuo song The Court Ayre Interlude and Interregnum: Catches and Glees Songs of the Restoration Court and Stage Orpheus Britannicus and Amphion Anglicus Dowland, who spans the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, and Purcell, active in the latter part of the seventeenth century, are assured of their place among the great composers of history. Both are given the fullest attention here, especially Purcell, whose songs, until Mr Spink's study, have not had the detailed examination they deserve. 312 pages.
