Zusatztext Spink tells us with breathtaking candour: "The fact that most of his songs are short and restricted in their musical range makes writing interestingly about them rather a challenge." Given this challenge, Spink does rather well.... an excellent account of the Englishness of Lawes's musical art ... an excelent account of the Englishness of Lawes's musical art Informationen zum Autor Ian Spink is Emeritus Professor of the Music Department at Royal Holloway College, London Klappentext Henry Lawes (1596-1662) has long been acknowledged as the leading English songwriter of the period of Charles I. He collaborated with Milton in Comus (1634) and among his hundreds of songs are settings of many famous lyrics by Cavalier poets such as Carew, Herrick, and Suckling. New recordings and musical editions of his work reflect his continued and increasing importance. This study, the first published since 1940, combines an account of his life with an analysis of his development as a songwriter. Zusammenfassung Although Henry Lawes wrote some church music, his significance as a composer lies in his settings of the lyrics by Cavalier poets such as Carew, Herrick, Suckling, and Waller, at the court of Charles I. This is a biography and a study of Lawes' development as a songwriter during this period.
