Stephen Groves

The Sound of the English Picturesque (eBook, ePUB)

Georgian Vocal Music, Haydn, and Landscape Aesthetics

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

Revealing the connections between the veneration of national landscape and eighteenth-century English vocal music, this study restores English music's connections with the picturesque. This book explores this gap, and shows how secular song, the glee, and national theatre music expressed a uniquely English engagement with landscape.
