Sing Joyfully, is suitable for SATB and optional organ.
This is the first book to survey the performing practices in
English choral music in the fifteenth, sixteenth and seventeenth
centuries, including the period of the English Reformation. The
essays, all written by specialists in the field, consider in depth
such areas as the growth and development of the 'church' choir,
related issues of vocal tessitura, performing pitch, the systems of
pronunciation appropriate for Latin- and English-texted music, and
the day-to-day training of choristers. There is also an
investigation of the local circumstances under which many of the
important manuscripts of the period were compiled, which reveals an
unsuspectedly close interrelationship between domestic music and
music for the church. In addition, a study of surviving sources
reveals that they give little more than a general guide as to their
composers' and copyists' intentions.
