Nowhere is the richness and variety of the English Renaissance
better shown than in the dramatic works of the period which
combined to an unusual degree the arts of poetry, music, acting,
and dance. This collection of essays by a number of distinguished
scholars offers a series of views of the music of this drama --
ranging from the mystery cycles still performed in the late
sixteenth century to the cavalier drama of the early seventeenth.
The essays included here are mainly concerned with the minor
dramatic forms -- the mystery plays, the "entertainments," the
masques, and the works of such playwrights as Marston and
Cartwright -- which reveal more extensively the blending of music
and drama; and they illustrate a variety of approaches to the
dramatic art. The collection as a whole demonstrates the need for
an interdisciplinary consideration of this important area of study.
Of especial value to musicologists is the bibliography of extant
music used in dramatic works of the period.
