English Plainchant Revival

Zusatztext Fascinating study ... Bennett Zon ... combines rigorous scholarship with stimulating musical, liturgical and theological insights. Klappentext The revival of plainchant in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century England was a turning point in the history of Anglican and Catholic musical worship. It led in its time to not only the preservation of much-loved melodies, but also to heated controversy. By the middle of the nineteenth-century, plainchant had returned as a central part of traditional liturgy. This study provides a general introduction to the sources of the plainchant revival in eighteenth- and nineteenth-century England. Zusammenfassung This volume aims to present a detailed exploration of the revival of the English plainchant in the 18th and 19th century. It examines ecclesiastical history and the work of John Francis Wade and Roman Catholic and Anglican apologetics.
