Restoration Cathedral Music: 1660-1714

Zusatztext Spink provides a lucid and detailed account of the intimate connection which existed between cathedral music, with its choirs and organs, and the state religion which under-pinned the divine right of the monarch...Wherever one lives in the country there will be something of interest, as Spink has provided a vignette of each cathedral and its music. Klappentext Ian Spink, a leading authority on seventeenth-century English music, has carried out a remarkable new investigation of the musical sources of the Restoration period, and of the archives of every cathedral and choral foundation.
