Although medieval English music has been relatively neglected in
comparison with repertoire from France and Italy, there are few
classical musicians today who have not listened to the
thirteenth-century song 'Sumer is icumen in', or read of the
achievements and fame of fifteenth-century composer John Dunstaple.
Similarly, the identification of a distinctively English musical
style (sometimes understood as the contenance angloise) has been
made on numerous occasions by writers exploring the extent to which
English ideas influenced polyphonic composition abroad. Angel song:
Medieval English music in history examines the ways in which the
standard narratives of English musical history have been crafted,
from the Middle Ages to the present. Colton challenges the way in
which the concept of a canon of English music has been built around
a handful of pieces, composers and practices, each of which offers
opportunities for a reappraisal of English musical and devotional
cultures between 1250 and 1460.
