This book introduces every important aspect of the Elizabethan music world. In ten scrupulously researched yet accessible chapters, Lord examines the lives of composers, the evolution of musical instruments, the Elizabethan system of musical notation, and the many textures and traditions of Elizabethan music. Biographical entries introduce the most significant and prolific composers as well as the members of royal society who influenced Elizabethan musical culture. Both familiar and obscure instruments of the era are described with focus on their musical and social contexts. Various types of music are defined and illustrated, along with an explanation of the musical notation used during this era. Chapter bibliographies, glossaries, and an index provide additional tools for both the novice and the experienced student of music and music history. When Elizabeth ascended to the throne in 1558, England was undergoing tremendous upheaval. Power struggles between Protestants and Catholics shaped the English music world as musicians' livelihoods were directly linked to their religious allegiances. Music became a form of strategy within court politics, and secular music evolved through the musical and poetic influences of the Italian Renaissance. Events of the day were told and retold through music, class and social differences were sung with relish, and rituals of love and life were set to story and song. When England defeated the vaunted Spanish Armada in 1588, a victorious nation expressed its jubilance through music.

The period represented by the reigns of Queen Elizabeth I and King James I of England was noteworthy not only for its literature and art but for its music. This volume offers a summary of the works on music theory published in England during that period, and illuminates Elizabethan attitudes toward music in theory and practice. Some of the works summarized treat elementary subjects such as scales, time signatures, and the correct use of chords; some take up more complex themes, such as advanced counterpoint, canon, and composition. Other sources provide detailed descriptions of common instruments, and discuss their use in composition and in the home. In addition to quoting many Elizabethan commentators on the proper use of music in the schools and in the church, the author cites Puritan attacks on music. He includes information on all the leading cathedral organists, as well as on choirboy actors and their organist teachers, and he devotes a chapter to the use of music in the plays of Shakespeare and others. Although it was the author's original intention to present only criticism written by Elizabethans, he decided to include, as a necessary aid to the reader, a brief description of the music criticized and to add a modern appraisal of it. Consequently, since all the books of compositions published in the years 1558-1625, chiefly madrigal and lute pieces, but also some church music are mentioned, with some comment on both the music and their composers, Dr. Boyd's study will serve as an excellent short history of Elizabethan music.
