Description
Nicholas Temperley has pioneered the history of popular church music in England, and this volume brings together fourteen of his essays on the subject. Studies range from how singing in church strayed from artistic control during its neglect in the 16th and 17th centuries, to how the vernacular fuging tune of West Gallery choirs grew up, and how individuals like Playford, Croft, Madan, and Stainer set about raising artistic standards. There are also assessments of the part played by charity in the improvement of church music, the effect of the English organ and the origins of congregational psalm chanting in late Georgian York. Temperley takes a fresh approach to these topics, based on careful research, while refusing to adopt artistic or religious preconceptions.
