Music and Society in Early Modern England is the first
comprehensive survey of English popular music during the early
modern period to be published in over one hundred and fifty years.
Christopher Marsh offers a fascinating and broad-ranging account of
musicians, the power of music, broadside ballads, dancing,
psalm-singing and bell-ringing. Drawing on sources ranging from
ballads, plays, musical manuscripts and diaries to wills,
inventories, speeches and court records, he investigates the part
played by music in the negotiation of social relations, revealing
its capacity both to unify and to divide. The book is lavishly
illustrated and is accompanied by a website featuring forty-eight
specially commissioned recordings by the critically acclaimed Dufay
Collective. These include the first ever attempts to reconstruct
the distinctively early-modern sounds of 'rough music' and
unaccompanied congregational psalm-singing.
