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. For the first time, perhaps, the true character and shape of this period of musical history is revealed, taking in the work of the great men of the age, including Purcell, Locke, and Handel, and many lesser masters such as Humfrey, Blow, Clarke, Weldon, and Croft.
