Présentation de l'éditeur
Third Edition of this work to the public, I should like to say a few words of explanation as regards the joint authorship. The idea of the tale was suggested to me by finding Queen Elizabeth scommission to Thomas Gyles, in Dr. Burney s History of Music. My cousin, ALGERNON CHARLES SWINBURNE, was staying at my fathers house at the time (1864) ;and from the first conception of my story he took the greatest interest in it, finding historical details for me, correcting anachronisms, suggesting or amending names, costumes, and incidents. In short, not a sentence was written without being read by him, not an episode worked out without his advice. Finally he proposed, since the Children were to act a play, that he should himself write a MORALITY for them.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a vivid depiction of the lives of child choristers in England during the 16th century. It's told from the perspective of Arthur, who is kidnapped from his home and forced to join the choir of the Chapel Royal. The author draws upon historical records to give an accurate account of the harsh training methods and punishments endured by these children as they strive to master their craft. The story is more than just a fascinating glimpse into an unfamiliar world. It's also a powerful exploration of themes such as the clash between duty and desire, the importance of friendship, and the resilience of the human spirit. This book is a valuable contribution to our understanding of musical history and a moving tribute to the unsung heroes of the past. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the art of singing or the social history of England.
