Explore the roots of English keyboard music and how a group of makers shaped a distinct sound. This study traces the rise of the English virginalist tradition, from early masters to the broader shifts of the late Renaissance. It illuminates how domestic and continental influences mingled to create a lively, expressive keyboard style, with a focus on variation, form, and technique.

Through careful analysis of pieces, notes, and historical context, the work shows how variations on secular songs and dances became a central English specialty. It also examines the evolution of keyboard design, including compass expansion and the short octave, and what these changes meant for performance and taste. Rich with diagrams and close readings, the book reveals patterns and innovations that helped define English keyboard music.

- Learn how English composers devised and varied secular songs and dances on the keyboard.
- See how instrument design, such as keyboard compass and octave layout, influenced musical possibilities.
- Understand the connections between English practices and continental styles of the period.
- Discover the ways scholars and performers interpret and organize these keyboard traditions.

Ideal for readers of music history, early keyboard players, and anyone curious about how a national tradition developed from a mix of local craft and wider European ideas.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an insightful overview of the origins of keyboard music in England from around 1550 to 1630. During this period, keyboard music evolved a distinct identity and technique, separate from vocal and organ music. It acquired great importance as a musical genre, and a wealth of material from this period has been preserved. Through analysis of various sources, the book examines the new figural material and musical forms and styles cultivated by the so-called 'Virginalists'. The author explores how these innovators expanded and refined existing musical forms and techniques, creating new and exciting musical possibilities. They established the basis for the further development of keyboard music and influenced the course of Western music as a whole. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781331470649_0
