Some Other Note

The Lost Songs of English Renaissance Comedy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

English comedy from the fifteenth to the early seventeenth century abounds in song lyrics, but most of the original tunes were thought to have been lost¿until now. By deducing that playwrights borrowed melodies from songs they already knew, Ross W. Duffin has used the existing English repertory of songs, both popular and composed, to reconstruct hundreds of songs from more than a hundred plays and other stage entertainments, rendering them performable with periodmusic for the first time in five hundred years.
