Download or read book Music in Eighteenth Century Britain written by DavidWyn Jones and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This collection of essays by some of the leading scholars in the field looks at various aspects of musical life in eighteenth-century Britain. The significant roles played by institutions such as the Freemasons and foreign embassy chapels in promoting music making and introducing foreign styles to English music are examined, as well as the influence exerted by individuals, both foreign and British. The book covers the spectrum of British music, both sacred and secular, and both cosmopolitan and provincial. In doing so it helps to redress the picture of eighteenth-century British music which has previously portrayed Handel and London as its primary constituents.

Download or read book The Cambridge History of Eighteenth Century Music written by Simon P. Keefe and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2009-09-10 with total page 816 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The eighteenth century arguably boasts a more remarkable group of significant musical figures, and a more engaging combination of genres, styles and aesthetic orientations than any century before or since, yet huge swathes of its musical activity remain under-appreciated. This History provides a comprehensive survey of eighteenth-century music, examining little-known repertories, works and musical trends alongside more familiar ones. Rather than relying on temporal, periodic and composer-related phenomena to structure the volume, it is organized by genre; chapters are grouped according to the traditional distinctions of music for the church, music for the theatre and music for the concert room that conditioned so much thinking, activity and output in the eighteenth century. A valuable summation of current research in this area, the volume also encourages the readers to think of eighteenth-century music less in terms of overtly teleological developments than of interacting and mutually stimulating musical cultures and practices.

Download or read book The Small Flute Concerto in Early Eighteenth Century London written by Douglas MacMillan and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-05 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Douglas MacMillan is an organologist, music historian, and recorder player. He began to play the recorder in his teenage years and subsequently founded and directed the Baroque ensemble Camerata Oriana. Encouraged by Carl Dolmetsch, he began a pioneering study of the history of the recorder in the nineteenth century which led to the diploma of FTCL and to the publication of the initial results of his work in the early 1980s. After further research into the nineteenth-century recorder he gained his PhD from the University of Surrey and has published a book on the topic. Noting a lacuna in the literature of the flageolet, Douglas proceeded to study the instrument, its music and social context in England in the nineteenth century as a student at the Royal College of Music. He graduated DMus (RCM) following submission of his thesis 'The Flageolet 1800 - 1900: the Instrument, its Music and Social Context'. An earlier study of the English concerti for small flutes (recorders) became the foundation for a doctoral project based at St. Cross College, Oxford. Douglas' thesis 'Octave Flutes in England 1660 - 1800' encompassed a comprehensive review of the organology of small recorders, flageolets, fifes, and piccolos: he received his DPhil (Oxon) in 2018. Now an independent scholar, Douglas continues his research into - and writing about - the flageolet and the recorder, with a particular interest in relating the development of musical instruments, their pedagogy and repertoire to their contemporary social environment. He continues to perform on the recorder and undertakes voluntary work in musical instrument collections. Douglas has contributed over thirty articles and reviews to musical journals and has given conference presentations both in Britain and overseas. He is a member of the Galpin Society, the American Musical Instrument Society, the Dolmetsch Foundation, and the Royal Musical Association.

Download or read book British Music Musicians and Institutions C 1630 1800 written by Julian Rushton and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2021 with total page 317 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Building upon the developing picture of the importance of British music, musicians and institutions during the eighteenth century, this book investigates the themes of composition, performance (amateur and professional) and music-printing, within the wider context of social, religious and secular institutions. British music in the era from the death of Henry Purcell to the so-called 'Musical Renaissance' of the late nineteenth century was once considered barren. This view has been overturned in recent years through a better-informed historical perspective, able to recognise that all kinds of British musical institutions continued to flourish, and not only in London. The publication, performance and recording of music by seventeenth- and eighteenth-century British composers, supplemented by critical source-studies and scholarly editions, shows forms of music that developed in parallel with those of Britain's near neighbours. Indigenous musicians mingled with migrant musicians from elsewhere, yet there remained strands of British musical culture that had no continental equivalent. Music, vocal and instrumental, sacred and secular, flourished continuously throughout the Stuart and Hanoverian monarchies. Composers such as Eccles, Boyce, Greene, Croft, Arne and Hayes were not wholly overshadowed by European imports such as Handel and J. C. Bach. The present volume builds on this developing picture of the importance of British music, musicians and institutions during the period. Leading musicologists investigate themes such as composition, performance (amateur and professional), and music-printing, within the wider context of social, religious and secular institutions.
