Edited by Stephanie (Contributor) Carter, Kirsten (Contributor) Gibson, Roz (Author) Southey
Part of the Music in Britain, 1600-2000 series
Hardback
Description
This collection situates the North-East within a developing nationwide account of British musical culture. Music in North-East England provides a wide-ranging exploration of musical life in the North-East of England during the early modern period.
It contributes to a growing number of studies concerned with developing a nationwide account of British musical culture.
By defining the North-East in its widest sense, the collection illuminates localised differences, distinct musical cultures in urban centres and rural locations, as well as region-wide networks, and situates regional musical life in broader national and international contexts.
Music in North-East England affords new insights into aspects of musical life that have been the focus of previous studies of British musical life - such as public concerts - but also draws attention to aspects that have attracted less scholarly attention in histories of early modern British musical culture: the musical activities and tastes of non-elite consumers; interactions between art music and cheap print and popular song; music education beyond London and its satellite environs; the recovery of northern urban soundscapes; and the careers of professional musicians who have not previously been the focus of major published musicological studies.
