The theme of the essays in this volume is the identification of the
resources which between c.1320 and 1642 the English church saw fit
to provide for the performance of the music of its liturgy.
Individual essays describe the music and the choirs of Canterbury
and Lincoln Cathedrals, Winchester Cathedral Priory and the private
chapel of Cardinal Wolsey, while the personnel of the chapels of
Edward III, the Black Prince and John of Gaunt emerge from study of
the texts of compositions of the 14th century. From the alignment
of contemporary musical and archival sources there arises a web of
conclusions relating to the size of ensemble, vocal scoring and
sounding pitch envisaged by its composers for English church
polyphony of the period c.1320-1559. These essays thus encompass
the two most profound of the revolutions to which the music of the
English church was subject at this period: the inauguration and
widespread adoption of choral polyphony in the years c.1455-85 and
the liturgical and doctrinal Reformation of 1547 to 1563.
