Mr. Long states:
“Happy is he to whom the great corpus of English church music is not so
much a field of academic study as a glorious living reality” (12).
The website offers this:
“Concerned with the growth and development of the
art of liturgical music and the circumstances under which it was written and
performed, this book shows English church music as part of the far wider
pattern of western European musical culture and examines the effect upon it of
such great continental movements as the Renaissance and Baroque. The author
seeks to project it against its religious, political, economic and social
background, and to trace the parallel developments in parish music and organ
building.”
