Beyond Boundaries: Rethinking Music Circulation in Early Modern England (Music and the Early Modern Imagination)

"English music studies often apply rigid classifications to musical materials, their uses, their consumers, and performers. The contributors to this volume argue that some performers and manuscripts from the early modern era defy conventional categorization as "amateur" or "professional," "native" or "foreign." These leading scholars explore the circulation of music and performers in early modern England, reconsidering previously held ideas about the boundaries between locations of musical performance and practice."--Page 4 de la couverture Rethinking Boundaries in Musical Practice and Circulation 1 Sounds of Religious Change in Ralph Roister Doister 13 2 English Jesuit Missionaries Music Education and the Musical Participation of Women in Devotional Life in Recusant Households from ca 1580 to c... 28 3 The Transmission of Lute Music and the Culture of Aurality in Early Modern England 42 The Public Realm of His English Ayres 54 5 Oyez Fresh Thoughts about the Cries of London Repertory 67 Song Performance Gender and Spatial Production in Richard Bromes The Northern Lass 79 Memory Music Theater and the SeventeenthCentury English Broadside Ballad 96 10 Music and Merchants in Restoration London 150 11 Daniel Henstridge and the Aural Transmission of Music in Restoration England 165 Queen Anne Music and the Public Stage 187 13 Disseminating and Domesticating Handel in MidEighteenthCentury Britain 207 14 From Londons Opera House to the Salon?
