The flourishing of secular music in England during the late
Renaissance, the social environment in which it took place and the
first steps towards a music profession and a music publishing trade
are key elements within this book. Household music of families of
varying importance is examined, shedding light on the relationship
between these patrons and their musicians, on the role of the
Church and the Court, on the astonishing advances in musical
literacy and refinement, and on the importance of the Grand Tour
and its contribution to the spread of European (especially Italian)
musical innovations to England. Quotations from contemporary
sources are used to bring to life the milieu in which this music
was created and the nature of the music itself, both secular and
devotional. The importance of this study lies not only in its
originality as a contribution to music history but also in its
originality of approach well known to art historians but until now
surprisingly neglected by music historians and Renaissance
historians. The book will also be of interest to performers of
Renaissance music and historians of theology, literature and
politics.
