Reviews
'... refreshingly undogmatic... The comparisons with the parallel full scores are invaluable here, and the presentation is commendably clear in the music examples given in the text... This is a fascinating study, well presented, and should be read by anyone involved with performing Restoration sacred music.' Choir & Organ ... a thorough and carefully reasoned study of organ books associated with the major London sacred institutions toward the end of the 17th century. Early Music Though this book will be of interest only to a limited number of readers, chiefly editors and organists concerned with this particular repertory, it is none the worse for that,and for such as these, it must be regarded as essential reading... The topic itself is one that has not been properly investigated before... it is good to have had it so carefully and conscientiously explored. Music and Letters
