A Short History of English Music
A Short History of English Music by Ernest Ford
CONTENTS
Chapter 1. Music Before and During the Reformation
Chapter 2. Music Before and During the Reformation--(_Continued_)
Chapter 3. Early English Composers
Chapter 4. The Decline of English Music
Chapter 5. Musical Education in England
Chapter 6. Progress of Orchestral Music
Chapter 7. Oratorio in England
Chapter 8. Opera in England
Chapter 9. Distinguished Musicians in England During the Nineteenth Century
Chapter 10. General Survey
This book is not, in any sense, technical.
It is an attempt to give a simple and rational, though in a volume of this size, necessarily incomplete, account of events that have led to the complex state of music existing in England at the present time.
Should it offer nothing to the musician or historian, I hope it will be found of interest to the general reader.
The desire to make each chapter as complete, on the subject with which it deals, as space would permit, has necessitated a certain amount of repetition, but I trust that the object will condone the fault.
