Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book takes readers on a fascinating journey through the history of the Chapel Royal, a musical and religious institution that served English monarchs for centuries. The book uses an original manuscript, a 'Cheque Book' of sorts, to tell the story of this unique institution, tracing the lives of the men and boys who sang in the Chapel Royal's choir. The author delves into a wealth of biographical details, shedding light on the lives of prominent musicians and poets, including Richard Edwards, William Hunnis, Thomas Tallis, and Orlando Gibbons. The manuscript also reveals the daily workings of the Chapel Royal, from its rituals and procedures to the financial records that offer a glimpse into its governance and finances. The book examines the changing social and religious landscape of England, as reflected in the Chapel's practices and policies. By offering a unique window into this intimate world of music and religious service, this book provides valuable insight into the cultural and social life of the English court during a period of significant historical change.
