Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of English music during the reigns of Queen Elizabeth and King James I (1558-1625), a period known as the Elizabethan era. It explores a time when English literature, art, and music reached a pinnacle of creativity and cultural inuence. The author examines the rise of secular vocal music, including the madrigal and the ayre, and explores the development of instrumental music, particularly for the lute and viols. The book also delves into the turbulent religious climate of the time, showcasing the impact of the Reformation on music, particularly the resistance to complex Catholic church music and the rise of psalm singing among Puritan groups. It explores the evolving role of music in education and societal life, presenting diverse opinions on its importance and value from prominent figures of the time. Through a detailed examination of music theory treatises and contemporary writings, this book offers a rich tapestry of insights into the Elizabethan attitude towards and understanding of music, shedding light on a pivotal chapter in the history of English musical culture. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
