The British musicologist Henry Davey (1853 1929) was a noted
scholar of the manuscript sources of Tudor music. He published the
first edition of History of English Music in 1895 with the aim of
providing his fellow-musicians with the first clear scholarly
account of the full range of English musical achievements. His main
focus is the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, which
he considered the heyday of English music, and he claims that the
earliest known free instrumental compositions, as well as the
polyphonic style, originated in England during the fifteenth
century. In Davey's view, these controversial findings were his
most important contribution to general musical knowledge. His work
was widely discussed in his own time, attracting both praise and
aggressive criticism, and continues to be read with great critical
interest today, not least because of its parallels with the
socialist utopianism of Ruskin and Morris.
