A ground-breaking study of the rise of the catch and glee in
Georgian England. The rise of the catch and glee in Georgian
England represents a rare example of indigenous forms establishing
themselves within a wide musical and social context. This study
examines a phenomenon that has to date been largely overlooked by
historians. Taking the 17th-century background as a starting point,
it moves on to a detailed account of the clubs formed to propagate
the two genres, placing them within the ambiance of the thriving
club life of Londonand the provinces. The success of the London
Catch Club and its emulators in encouraging the creation of a large
and popular repertoire that would come to assume nationalistic
significance is reflected by the incursion of the catch and glee
into mainstream concert life and the theatre. The volume concludes
with a discussion of the glee in relation to the aesthetics of the
period and a brief survey of its subsequent reputation among
musicians and historians.
