Nicholas Temperley has pioneered the history of popular church
music in England, as expounded in his classic 1979 study, The Music
of the English Parish Church; his Hymn Tune Index of 1998; and his
magisterial articles in The New Grove. This volume brings together
fourteen shorter essays from various journals and symposia, both
British and American, that are often hard to find and may be less
familiar to many scholars and students in the field. Here we have
studies of how singing in church strayed from artistic control
during its neglect in the 16th and 17th centuries, how the
vernacular 'fuging tune' of West Gallery choirs grew up, and how
individuals like Playford, Croft, Madan, and Stainer set about
raising artistic standards. There are also assessments of the part
played by charity in the improvement of church music, the effect of
the English organ and the reasons why it never inspired anything
resembling the German organ chorale, and the origins of
congregational psalm chanting in late Georgian York. Whatever the
topic, Temperley takes a fresh approach based on careful research,
while refusing to adopt artistic or religious preconceptions.
