Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of English Music A Few words concerning the origin of this book are necessary. It was already begun during an illness in 1892, and arrangements were made for its publication. But upon further investigation, especially of the early MSS., I perceived that the wealth of most valuable material still unexamined was far greater than I had suspected; so great, in fact, as to modify my previous opinions concerning English music in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. What I had previously written had largely to be rejected, and the whole plan of the work was altered; while three years' study has been necessary before I could let the book be printed. A variety of accidents unfortunately prevented a systematic comparison of every proof-sheet with the original sources of information, a test I had intended to apply; should any mistakes have arisen thereby, they will be duly published as they are discovered, and corrected in future editions. The main hindrance, in this and other respects, has, of course, been my living away from London and the other great repositories of MSS.; but I am able in consequence to have a clearer view of the condition of music in the whole country, of our defects and their causes, than I should probably have acquired had I been a London musician, when it would have been difficult or impossible for me to perceive the effects of centralisation upon our musical life. A minor but a very real hindrance has been the unsystematic indexing of many important publications. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of Music in England The purpose of this book is to sketch the main features of English music from its earliest artistic manifestations to the close of the nineteenth century. I use the term English in default of any other that is more exactly comprehensive; but the chapter on folk-music will be found to contain refer ences to the melodies of Scotland, Ireland, and Wales, as well as to those of England itself. And, further, I have taken 'english music' to include 'music made in England', not solely music composed by Englishmen to adopt the latter signification alone would, I thought, in dealing with a country where foreign in uences have played a large part, have unduly limited the scope of the book, and I have in fact, for practical purposes, considered as Englishmen those composers who, though of foreign blood, have made England their home and have produced for an English public all the works bywhich their name survives. Of these the greatest is of course Handel, who, as a naturalized Englishman who spent over forty-five years of his life in this country, has justly won a place in the Dictionary of National Biography; I have disregarded the few works he wrote for Italian and German audiences, but it seemed im possible to avoid treatment of the others, especially as their in uence here has been so colossal.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of English Music This book is not, in any sense, technical. It is an attempt to give a simple and rational, though in a volume of this size, necessarily incomplete, account of events that have led to the complex state of music existing in England at the present time. Should it offer nothing to the musician or historian, I hope it will be found of interest to the general reader. The desire to make each chapter as complete, on the subject with which it deals, as space would permit, has necessitated a certain amount of repetition, but I trust that the object will condone the fault.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Narrative History of Music, Vol. 1: Book I, the Pre-Classic Periods So many and varied are the paths of musical enjoy ment and profit opened out in the following pages, so different and sometimes so conflicting are the types of art represented there, that the timid or inexperienced reader may well pause at the threshold, afraid of wholly losing his way in such a labyrinth. He may hesitate to trust himself in so unfamiliar a landscape without first seeing some sort of small-scale plan of the ground, which, omitting the confusing details, shows in bold relief only the larger and essential divisions - the 'lay of the land.' Such a plan it is the object of this introduction to furnish. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Music, Vol. 1 An attack was made thirty years ago on the assertion that Handel was not only a sacred composer, but was especially the founder of the epic element in music. It is, therefore, very satisfactory to observe the extent to which the truth of that assertion is now generally admitted this can also be said of the admission of the proof that the invention of the opera at Florence was due to a Tuscan School.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Music in England and Music in America, Vol. 1 The history of musical development in England is to the art student, both highly interesting and instruc tive. How are we to explain why a nation that has reached such pre-eminence in dramatic and lyrical poetry, has occupied rather a subordinate place in its original musical efforts, when compared with the labors Of the Italians, the Germans, the French; and that in the form which is most closely related to the drama, - the Opera, English musicians never have gone far ther than to imitate, with more or less ability and success, the works Of Continental composers? Some Englishmen have been endowed with fine talent, even genius, for music. The English are fond of music, and spend large Sums in the interest of Operatic enter tainments given by the first living artists; and the works of the first masters Of instrumental music find a deserved recognition at the hands of English musical connoisseurs.

Book excerpt: Learn about music history in musical terms What distinguishes the major periods in music history: Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Classical, Romantic and Modern? By focusing on twenty-four works by twenty-four composers--four for each historical period--I hope to create a picture that the reader can hold in mind all at once. Time, tonality and timbre serve as points of comparison by which we can define both the style of an individual composer and the style associated with each musical period.
