This collection of essays by a number of distinguished scholars offers a series of views of the music of this drama -- ranging from the mystery cycles still performed in the late sixteenth century to the cavalier drama of the early seventeenth. The essays included here are mainly concerned with the minor dramatic forms -- the mystery plays, the entertainments, the masques, and the works of such playwrights as Marston and Cartwright -- which reveal more extensively the blending of music and drama; and they illustrate a variety of approaches to the dramatic art. The collection demonstrates the need for an interdisciplinary consideration of this important area of study. Of especial value to musicologists is the bibliography of extant music used in dramatic works of the period Analysis English drama Early modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600 History and criticism Music England 16th century History and criticism Music England 17th century History and criticism Renaissance England Bibliography Includes chapter notes with bibliographical references (pages [161]-178), and index Notes Master and use copy.
