註釋

This book is a comprehensive study of seventeenth-century English song since its first publication in 1974. The art of the song is central to the English musical tradition, and it was in the seventeenth century that it achieve its highest peaks in the works of John Dowland and Henry Purcell. The author discusses the work of both these composers and places them in the context of others such as Morley, Campion and Robert Jones among the lutesong writers; Henry and William Lawes, Nicholas Lanier and John Wilson of Charles I's court; the catch and glee writers of the Commonwealth and finally Restoration composers including Matthew Locke, Pelham Humphrey and John Blow. There is an extensive bibliography of seventeenth-century songbooks, a list of principal manuscript songbooks, 1600-1660, and a bibliography.
