Roz Southey

Music-Making in North-East England during the Eighteenth Century (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

The north-east of England in the Eighteenth century was a region where many different kinds of musical activity thrived and where a wide range of documentation survives. Such activities included concert-giving, teaching, tuning and composition, as well as music in the theatre and in church. Drawing upon a rich selection of source material, Roz Southey examines the impulses behind such activities and the meanings that local people found inherent in them.
