Excerpt from Music in Medieval BritainOn the other hand, I have gone more fully into the history of choirs and their liturgical customs than is usual in writing on medieval music. Although records of local institutions have in recent years become an important part of the study of social history and of the history of the visual arts, little use has yet been made of the records of the musical side of medieval institu tions. Besides being the chief sources of biographical informa tion, these records throw light on the place of musicians in the varied communities which made up the medieval church, and on the Opportunities which life in these communities gave to composers and singers. The demands of institutional life have in their turn a direct bearing on changes and developments in musical style and practice. The history of choral foundations also serves to show how much the musical life of Britain owes to such great patrons of the ecclesiastical arts as Grandisson, Wykeham, Wayne¿ete and the Lancastrian kings, whose names, apart from the royal composer who goes under the name Roy Henry, do not normally figure in histories of music.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
