A facsimile of Bathe's work, the first musical text book to appear
in the English language, describes musical methods old and new and
will be of great interest to musicologists and players of early
music. When, in 1584, William Bathe, then just a young student at
Oxford, published a tract on the teaching of music, his work became
the first musical text book to appear in the English language. No
copy of this work now exists, but some years later Bathe produced a
new version, now called A brief Introduction to the skill of song.
In it Bathe sought to present a new, much simpler way to learn
music, in open opposition to the traditional approaches of theday,
the "manifold and crabbed, confused, tedious rules", as he puts it.
This book, a facsimile of Bathe's work, describes musical methods
old and new and will be of great interest to musicologists and
players of early music. Introduction by Bernarr Rainbow and
published in the series ClassicTexts in Music Education.
