Brings together 14 shorter essays from various journals and symposia. This title presents studies of how singing in church strayed from artistic control during its neglect in the 16th and 17th centuries, how the vernacular 'fuging tune' of West Gallery choirs grew up, and how individuals like Playford and Stainer set about artistic standards.
