This reference seeks to identify and briefly annotate a wide range
of subjects relating to English musical culture, largely from the
early 15th century through 1958, dates that reflect the coalescence
of an identifiable English style in the early Renaissance and the
death of the iconic Ralph Vaughan Williams in the mid-20th century.
Some of the truly great "English" composers figuring in this volume
include Johann Christian Bach, Felix Mendelssohn, and Georg
Frideric Handel, along with singers like Jenny Lind and Farinelli
and many others. The Historical Dictionary of English Music covers
its subject matter through a chronological table of important
events, an introductory essay on the history of English music, an
extensive bibliography, and over 600 cross-referenced dictionary
entries on people, venues, repertory, genre, and sources. This book
is an excellent access point for students, researchers, and anyone
wanting to know more about English music during this important
period.
