Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating life of John Marbeck, a sixteenth-century English organist and composer who played a pivotal role in the Reformation. The author illuminates the context of Marbeck's life against the backdrop of religious upheaval in England, shedding light on the turbulent times that shaped him. The story of Marbeck is especially intriguing because he was a figure caught between the old and new orders of the Church of England: his dedication to the Reformation led him to be accused of heresy, yet his musical skill and integrity allowed him to ultimately escape a gruesome fate. Beyond his personal story, the book also delves into the intricate history of the English Liturgy, tracing the development of the Book of Common Prayer from its inception to its use in the Church's services. This book offers a unique window into the religious, musical, and social world of England during a period of immense change.
