Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A definitive look at the early history of St George's Chapel, one of the most important medieval buildings in England. Developed and improved by Edward III, the Chapel became the spiritual home of his newly-instigated Order of theGarter and, in the process, a new Camelot for the English monarchy. St George's Chapel, Windsor, is one of the most famous ecclesiastical foundations in Britain. Established in 1348, its origins are closely bound up with those of the Order of the Garter, which was founded by Edward III at the sametime. The collection of essays in this volume sets Windsor in its context, at the forefront of the political and cultural developments of mid-fourteenth-century England. They examine the early history of the Chapel, its tieswith Edward III's chivalric ambitions, the community of canons who served it, and its place in the institutional development of the English Church. Major themes are the role of the Chapel in the early history of the Order and itsinfluence on other collegiate foundations of the late middle ages; and much attention is devoted to the mighty building campaign at the Castle started by Edward III which made Windsor the grandest royal residence of its day.

This book was released on 2019-09-25 with total page 578 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2002: Until relatively recently, musicologists' account of church music in post-Restoration and early Georgian England has been substantially incomplete due to an almost exclusive preoccupation with the music and musicians of the Chapel Royal. The balance is now being redressed and this book begins the task of filling one of the remaining gaps in our understanding of the field. The volume represents a detailed examination of the practical workings of a choral foundation during the later 17th and early 18th centuries, placing the musicians within their wider historical and social contexts, and based on a comprehensive survey of extant archival material.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: St George's Chapel in Windsor Castle is one of the most famous buildings in the World, the venue for national pageant and ceremony since the Middle Ages. Created to be the architectural back-drop for the activities of the Order of the Garter, the pre-eminent chivalric order of medieval England, in modern times the chapel has become one of the country's premier tourist destinations. The stained glass of the chapel, dating from the early 16th century to the later 20th century, is one of its least familiar treasures. The chapel has always been served by the leading artist and craftsmen of the day and in designing for this most distinguished location, successive generations of glaziers have excelled themselves in the quality of their work. In this volume the history of the chapel's stained glass is explored by a team of distinguished stained glass historians and heraldic scholars for the first time, revealing a microcosm of English stained glass design across the centuries.
