Bøker av Andrew Ashbee

The long-awaited sequel to Andrew Ashbee's pioneering study of the life and music of John Jenkins (1592-1678). The primary focus of this second volume is Jenkins' huge output of fantasia-suites, but his vocal music also comes under examination, and a complete source-list of Jenkins' music is provided.

In addition to basic biographical details about court musicians and instrument makers, entries feature information on: appointments; probate material; family background; heraldry; signatures and holograph documents; subscriptions to books; and bibliographical references.

In this index of manuscripts containing consort music, the compilers aim to present a comprehensive survey of each manuscript which will not only list the contents, but also provide as much information as possible on the provenance and make-up of the volumes.
