Description
Articles on English music, from the medieval period to the present day, centred on four of the major areas of scholarly enquiry. The major themes of the essays in this collection reflect the work of the distinguished scholar John Caldwell, professor of music at Oxford University and a composer in his own right. There is a strong focus on early music, with contributions considering the medieval carol, sources for seventeenth- and eighteenth-century harpsichord music, and the transmission of fifteenth-century English music to the Continent; but they range right up to the twentieth century, with an examination of music in Oxford. All are concerned in one way or another with themes which recur in Professor Caldwell's scholarship: sources; style; performance; and historiography. Contributors: SALLY HARPER, DAVID HILEY, EMMA HORNBY, HARRY JOHNSTONE, MARGARET BENT, DAVID MAW, MATTHIAS RANGE, REINHARD STROHM, PETER WRIGHT, MAGNUS WILLIAMSON, JOHN HARPER, SIMON MCVEIGH, CHRISTOPHER PAGE, OWEN REES, SUSAN WOLLENBERG, JOHN ARTHUR SMITH, BENNETT ZON, DAVID MAW.

Reviews
The affection as well as the respect in which John Caldwell is held by other scholars exudes unmistakably from the pages of this volume in his honour. [...] This brilliantly researched, engagingly written, and elegantly produced volume [...] its enduring significance will surely lie in its explorations of new historical material, its suggestive reconsiderations of the well known, and it's opening up of new areas of research. * MUSIC & LETTERS *
The seventeen essays have much that is of interest to the thoughtful reader with an interest in the organ and its music, most particularly in relation to its presence - and absence - in liturgical settings. * JOURNAL OF THE BRITISH INSTITUTE OF ORGAN STUDIES *
