This first volume of a projected two volume study of the music of
John Jenkins concentrates exclusively on his consorts for viols.
John Jenkins (1592-1678) was both the most prolific and most
esteemed of English composers between the death of Byrd and the
rise of Purcell. During his long life he was employed as a resident
musician in East Anglian noble households and became a court
musician to Charles II in his later years. This is the first in a
two-volume study of Jenkins and his music. It presents a
biographical introduction to the composer then concerns itself
exclusively with the superb consorts for viols which dominate the
early part of the composer's career. It is profusely illustrated
with music examples and discusses virtually every work in this
form. ANDREW ASHBEE is an internationally renowned expert on C17th
English instrumental music, has edited a number of volumes of music
from the period, and is an author, broadcaster and lecturer.
