The music teacher and composer John Pyke Hullah (1812-84) is best
remembered for his 'singing school for schoolmasters'. Through his
dedicated efforts music was embedded into the school curriculum,
and his inspiration influenced the rapid growth of amateur choral
societies in Britain. Professor of vocal music at King's College,
London, from 1844 to 1874, Hullah was elected to the committee of
management of the Royal Academy of Music in 1869 and in 1872 became
the first government inspector of music in teacher training
colleges. Published in 1862, this accessible history of music from
plainsong to the mid-nineteenth century, which Hullah divided into
four periods, was first given as a course of six lectures at the
Royal Institution in 1861. A further series of lectures, The Third
or Transition Period of Musical History, is also reissued in this
series in its 1876 second edition.
