Originally published in 1992, Music in English Children's Drama of the Later Renaissance is the first book-length study to examine the Elizabethan and Jacobean children's drama, not only from a musicological perspective, but also drawing on the histories of literature, culture, and the theater. It gives the children's companies new historical significance, showing that they were an integral and ultimately influential part of the London theatrical world. These companies originated important features of later drama, such as music before and between acts, and the exploitation of different timbres for specific effects. Those interested in music history, English literature, theater history, and cultural history will find this a comprehensive and fascinating study. Of special note are the appendices, which offer a unique and important reference source by providing the only definitive list of the plays and songs used by the children.
