Music And Monarchy - Audio Book

Details: Ric Jerrom reads this new history of Britain through music, showing how the royal court shaped the musical landscape of our nation. For the kings and queens of England, a trumpet fanfare or crash of cymbals could be as vital a weapon as a cannon. Showcasing a monarch's power, prestige and taste, music has been the lifeblood of many a royal dynasty. From sacred choral works to soaring symphonies, Music and Monarchy looks at how England's character was shaped by its music. To David Starkey and Katie Greening, works like Handel's Water Music and Tallis's Mass for Four Voices were more than entertainment - they were pieces signalling political intent, wealth and ambition. Starkey and Greening examine England's most iconic musical works to demonstrate how political power has
been a part of musical composition for centuries. Ideal for: Those passionate about music. Running time approximately: 11 hours 5 minutes. 10 CD's unabridged.
