Inhalt:
Much valuable research has been accomplished in recent years on the 'practical' manuscript sources, both complete and fragmentary, of music from later medieval Britain and the institutions in which it flourished. It has been much more difficult to draw out the theoretical context in which composers at the time operated, and the social and educational relationships through which a musical career could be constructed in this important period for British polyphonic music
Inhalt:
The chance survival of a manuscript notebook compiled in the first few decades of the sixteenth century by the musician and teacher John Tucke enables one individual case-study to be examined in some detail. Taking this manuscript as its starting point, the present book traces Tucke's career, in so far as it can be reconstructed from available archival sources, and presents the texts of some of the most intriguing material from his notebook, attempting to relate its often enigmatic contents to the wider context of early Tudor music and its production
