In 1893, the English composer and director of the Royal College of
Music C. Hubert H. Parry published Summary of the Development of
Medieval and Modern European Music, an overview of European music
from the middle ages to the work of Schubert and Brahms. Intended
for music students, the book summarises the major composers, their
work and the social circumstances that surrounded the creation of
their music. This ambitious book is divided into 12 chronological
chapters, from the troubadours and plainsong, through Bach and
Handel to the rise of the symphony, Mozart, and the emergence of
music as an expression of nationalism. In the book's first part,
Parry deftly puts music in historical context, discussing England's
Wars of the Roses, and the Reformation in relation to the changing
styles throughout the sixteenth century; he then explores the music
of the Restoration and the rise of opera.
