{"product_id":"angel-song-medieval-english-music-in-history","title":"Angel Song: Medieval English Music in History","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlthough medieval English music has been relatively neglected in comparison with repertoire from France and Italy, there are few classical musicians today who have not listened to the thirteenth-century song ‘Sumer is icumen in’, or read of the achievements and fame of fifteenth-century composer John Dunstaple. Similarly, the identification of a distinctively English musical style (sometimes understood as the \u003ci\u003econtenance angloise\u003c\/i\u003e) has been made on numerous occasions by writers exploring the extent to which English ideas influenced polyphonic composition abroad. \u003ci\u003eAngel song: Medieval English music in history\u003c\/i\u003e examines the ways in which the standard narratives of English musical history have been crafted, from the Middle Ages to the present. Colton challenges the way in which the concept of a canon of English music has been built around a handful of pieces, composers and practices, each of which offers opportunities for a reappraisal of English musical and devotional cultures between 1250 and 1460.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Taylor \u0026 Francis Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54260021690712,"sku":"9780367229962","price":65.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9780367229962.jpg?v=1769741142","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/angel-song-medieval-english-music-in-history","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
