First published in 1998, this volume comprises papers given at a
conference on Lawes and his music held at Oxford in September 1995
to commemorate the 350th anniversary of his death. They examine not
only Lawes's music but the milieu in which he worked. Part One
examines the musical life of the English Court in Lawes's day,
noting his activities there and his involvement with companies of
players. Manuscript studies and a detailed account of the fatal
battle are also included. Part Two comprises seven essays exploring
the wide range of his instrumental and vocal music. William Lawes
is acknowledged as the most exciting and innovative composer
working in England during the reign of Charles I. His tragic early
death at the Siege of Chester in 1645 only served to heighten his
reputation among his contemporaries, lending him also the cloak of
martyrdom in the service of his king.
