Essays on the History of English Music in Honour of John Caldwell: Sources, Style, Performance, Historiography

$152.00
 
Articles on English music, from the medieval period to the present day, centred on four of the major areas of scholarly enquiry.

The major themes of the essays in this collection reflect the work of the distinguished scholar John Caldwell, professor of music at Oxford University and a composer in his own right. There is a strong focus on early music, with contributions considering the medieval carol, sources for seventeenth- and eighteenth-century harpsichord music, and the transmission of fifteenth-century English music to the Continent; but they range right up to the twentieth century, with an examination of music in Oxford. All are concerned in one way or another with themes which recur in Professor Caldwell's scholarship: sources; style; performance; and historiography.
