Introduction
Authors: Rowland-Jones Anthony 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This book concentrates on the sonata repertoire for treble (or sometimes descant) recorder with keyboard or thorough-bass. It is intended for players who may have embarked upon this repertoire and who wish to extend their understanding and enjoyment of a wide range of accompanied solo sonatas from Handel and Telemann to eighteenth-century French compositions, then forward to twentieth-century sonatas and sonatinas, and back to early seventeenth-century Italian sonatas and canzonas.
An Experimental Music Theory?
Authors: Gjerdingen Robert 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Aristotle knew his logic. He could ring the changes on premisses major and minor, true and false, universal and particular. Yet he still wrote the following: In man, the size of the trunk is proportionate to the lower portions, and as a man grows up it becomes much smaller in proportion. In infancy the reverse is found. In other words, all children are dwarfs…The whole groups of birds and fishes are dwarf-like… This is why all animals are less intelligent than man. And the reason, as aforesaid, is that in very many of them the principle of the soul is sluggish and corporeal. And if the heat which raises the organism up wanes still further while the earthy matter waxes, then the animals’ bodies wane, and they will be many-footed; and finally they lose their feet altogether and lie full length on the ground. Proceeding a little further in this way, they actually have their principal part down below, and finally the part which answers to a head comes to have neither motion nor sensation; at this stage the creature becomes a plant.
The Historiography of Music: Issues of Past and Present
Authors: Treitler Leo 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
I begin with my uneasiness over the title of this book. The prefix ‘re-’, like the word ‘new’ as in ‘new Left’, ‘New Historicism’, ‘New Philosophy of History’, ‘New Musicology’ stands for a narrative, now so widely recited as to constitute a modern mythology, of oppression followed by liberation (from the ‘hegemony’, ‘tyranny’, ‘patriarchy’, ‘authoritarianism’, etc. of traditional disciplines—taken in the double sense of Foucault’s Discipline and Punish1), and attended by an ethos of exhilaration in new-found freedoms. But, paradoxically, the liberation argot that is switched in at the sign of the word ‘new’, as though by the striking of a computer function key, is itself the sign not only of an imposed radical discontinuity, but also of an encroaching new orthodoxy that threatens to constrain freedom. There is a risk that—not for the first time in our history—the guiding principles for musical scholars have befallen us, rather than having been adopted by us, no less than fashions in dress, architecture, or food.
Posture
Authors: Hemsley Thomas 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
If good singing is, as I have suggested, always a reaction, then the first thing that a singer must acquire is the ability to be ready and able to react. This means above all to have a good posture-to be in a state of readiness. It is perfectly possible to make vocal sounds without good physical poise, but the fine-tuning of strong and flexible response-the subtle modifications of voice that we call singing-are rendered virtually impossible. Good posture is not something simply to be switched on when singers enter their teacher ‘s studio, or when they step on to the concert platform or the operatic stage. It must be habitual.
Legato and ‘ fessitura
Authors: Hemsley Thomas 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In the first edition of Groves Dictionary, H. C. Deacon writes: ‘Instrumental music gets its legato, and the more subtle parts of its phrasing from the singer. ‘ Instrumentalists and conductors frequently use the word ‘sing ‘ to describe a true legato. In fact ‘singing ‘ and ‘legato ‘ are to a very large extent synonymous, as Richard Wagner clearly thought, when he wrote: ‘To play an instrument correctly means to sing with it.
From ‘The Bad Child’s Book of Beasts’
Authors: Martino Donald 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Donald Martino is a distinguished example from the senior generation of American composers whose work is consistently rewarding and deserves to be heard much more in Europe. His Three Songs for bass voice and piano, featured in Volume 1, show him in familiar radical, atonal vein, but his involves ‘gradually finding the tempo’ and then letting it subside again in a ritenuto-and the pianist should take firm control here. AH through the song the vocal manner should be simple and unaffected, with no exaggeration of the humour.
Five Songs
Authors: Antheil George 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This could hardly be called new repertory, in view of its date, but the name of the American composer George Antheil is unlikely to be familiar to many singers. Much cherished as a modernist innovator, he enjoys cult status in specialist circles. His best-selling autobiography Bad Boy of Music was published in 1945. Dividing his time between Europe and the USA, he was also active as a pianist, and was championed by the artistic elite of his time, including Joyce, Yeats, Pound, Satie, and Picasso. He eventually moved to Los Angeles, where he orchestrated film scores, wrote a lonely-hearts column, and, in co-operation with the film star Hedy Lamarr, invented a new type of torpedo! He also wrote a mystery novel under a pseudonym.
Lacrimosa
Authors: Buhr Glenn 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A haunting and highly original cantata from one of Canada’s most forceful and versatile musicians of the younger generation. His work combines minimalism with strong jazz influences, but is high on individuality and direct communication with an audience. The variety within the four brief movements is considerable, and they fully exploit the mezzo range, often going very low in the voice indeed, especially in the unembellished first verse of the blues at the end of the cycle, which also provides an opportunity for an improvised solo on jazz instrument(s) if available.
Anna Blossom Time
Authors: Fox Christopher 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
For anyone looking for a truly attractive concert piece with immediate appeal, this is a major discovery. Fox is a prime example of a group of middle-generation British composers, many of whom, especially those based outside London, have been unjustly overlooked. Their work is, however, recognized on the continent of Europe, and their musical sympathies are often more in line with European stylistic models than with the earlier generation of British composers. Fox’s voice is a clear and cogent one, showing a striking musicality and sureness of touch.
Six Blake Songs
Authors: Smith Russell 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
A distinguished American composer of the senior generation, who has lived in Germany for some years, Russell Smith has been unjustly neglected. He has written some beautiful songs displaying tremendous variety within a basically traditional idiom. There seems no reason why they should not be widely admired, and, if more readily available in print, they would surely attract those singers who are always on the lookout for repertoire which will please an audience, yet be stimulating to sing and interpret.
From a Child’s Garden
Authors: Williamson Malcolm 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Malcolm Williamson, the present Master of the Queen’s Music, has always written superbly for the voice. His operas display to the full his lyrical gifts. They are packed with the expansive, wide-ranging lines that singers revel in. As a performer-composer (he is a brilliant pianist) he is alive to the practicalities of performance, and his music has a tangible physicality and spontaneity. These settings of Stevenson’s endearingly familiar poems are expertly crafted and winningly direct in appeal. The cycle is ideally varied and moves effortlessly from impishness to nostalgia, highlighting and illustrating the words with refinement and insight.
The Hare in the Moon
Authors: Samuel Rhian 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Rhian Samuel is an experienced and assured writer of vocal music, and there are several other works of hers that can be warmly recommended to readers of this book. Aided by an excellent ear and natural sense of proportion, she consistently produces vocal lines that are as pleasurable to sing as they are to look at. The beautifully neat, bold manuscript is an added attraction for the potential performer. Everything is well laid-out, with clarity and practicability as high priorities.
Her Anxiety
Authors: Turnage Mark-Anthony 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Mark-Anthony Turnage’s remarkable gifts have already been widely recognized. Despite his comparative youth, he has deservedly established a reputation as one of the most exciting composers to have emerged in recent years. His successful opera Greek showed his mastery of dramatic vocal writing, and intuitive grasp of the characteristics of timbre and resonance. A keen ear and natural musicality are immediately evident in this welcome cycle, and the material is manipulated with exemplary clarity and economy. The honesty and directness of the music make a powerful impact, yet the piece will not tax a young singer, nor one of limited experience.
The Turkish Mouse
Authors: Woolrich John 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
John Wool rich is a composer who has enhanced the singer’s repertory with a delightfully varied and high-quality body of vocal works, and readers of this book are urged to seek out for themselves further examples of his output. From a wealth of choice I have selected this charming miniature, which is well suited to a young soprano. It was originally written for Mary Wie gold’s Song-Book, and set for voice and small ensemble. The reader is enthusiastically recommended to obtain the current list of these invaluable additions to the catalogue for voice and instruments.
Static Harmony, Consonance and Dissonance
Authors: Pratt George 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Harmony consists of vertically constructed chords and their horizontal relationship to each other. The smallest number of notes which will create self-sufficient and consonant harmony as opposed to a single note, is two, the ROOT and the THIRD. The density of this sound is increased by the addition of a FIFTH to create a TRIAD, three notes such as those in Ex. la. Whether the third is major or minor determines the ‘major’ or ‘minor’ character of the chord. Triads with major thirds are conventionally indicated by capital Roman numerals, ‘I’, ‘V’, etc. Lowercase numerals, ‘i’, ‘ii’, ‘vi’, indicate triads with minor thirds.
Irresolute Progressions, Episodic Six-threes, Reverse Thrust and Pedals
Authors: Pratt George 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
By now it will be clear that in the core texts we are using and, in fact, in tonal music for a further hundred years or more, a large proportion of harmonic relationships are achieved through the dominant urge to resolve to the tonic. Chapters 4, 5, 7 and 8 stretched this concept by analogy to second-, third- and further-level dominants and finally all the way round a complete circle of fifths. Chapters 11 and 12 stressed the same dominant principle driving every chromatically altered chord to its resolution. Chapter 10 maintained the same principle but introduced alternative ways in which dominant tension can be released, into substitute resolutions.
Introduction: Reformation, Disestablishment, Transnationalism
Authors: Giles Paul 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Atlantic Republic is concerned with how the legacy of the American Revolution has manifested itself in English writing over the past two centuries, with ways in which the war of 1775– 83 and the subsequent division into the two distinct nation-states created a schism in Anglophone culture that has crucially shaped ways in which English literature has conceived of itself. I shall argue that the United States has operated both literally and metaphorically for English writers as a locus of dissent, so that to read English literature transatlantically is to counterpoint its more traditional Anglican virtues by recovering the impetus of an English nonconformist tradition that can be traced back through the War of Independence as far as the Reformation.
The American Revolution and the Rhetoric of Schism
Authors: Giles Paul 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
To consider how the American Revolution is represented in English literature, in the writings of Samuel Johnson and Susanna Rowson and in the polemical essays of Richard Price, is to recognize how America in the eighteenth century was generally conceived to be, like Ireland or the Outer Hebrides, an offshore territory intertwined both politically and culturally with the British mainland. Somewhat misleadingly, the Revolution itself has by now achieved the status of a mythic event in the annals of US history, an original point of reference and definition for the nation.
Dissolving Images Monastic Ruins in Elizabethan Poetry
Authors: Schwyzer Philip 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Supposing anyone were naive or gauche enough to ask what, in a nutshell, had been the central message of western poetry across the ages, the best answer would probably be, ‘Don’t trust builders.’ Never prefer a villa to a villanelle, or a statue to a stanza. Concrete crumbles, but language lasts. The capacity of a well-crafted poem to outlast the most enduring of built structures (and everything else) was a popular classical topos. As Horace vaunted, ‘I have completed a memorial more lasting than bronze and higher than the royal grave of the pyramids.’1 At least partial confirmation of this boast may be found in the countless variations on Horace‘s theme found in Elizabethan poetry, sonnet sequences in particular. Thus we find Shakespeare swaggering, in sonnet 55, ‘Not marble nor the gilded monuments | Of princes shall outlive this powerful rhyme.’
The Thought of the Good: Enough, The Lost Ones, Ill Seen Ill Said, Worstward Ho
Authors: Gibson Andrew 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
We might say of the Unnamable what Lacan says of the subject in Seminar VII, a text that has been very significant for Badiou: ‘If there is indeed some- thing that can be called his good or his happiness, there is nothing to be expected in that regard from the microcosm, nor moreover from the macrocosm.’ Lacan’s terms of reference, here, derive from Aristotle. The microcosm is ‘the uncontested order that defines a certain character’ and involves the acquisition of habits.2 The macrocosm is the ‘more universal knowledge’ with which that order ‘is unified’, and is where ethics (and the subject) inter- sect with politics (and the State).
The Sparkle Hid in Ashes: Beckett’s Plays
Authors: Gibson Andrew 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
If, for Lacan, potlatch is the little miraculous stone in the desert of the com- petition for goods, by a significant coincidence, as early as 1932, Beckett was resorting to a very similar image to articulate his aesthetic position. In Dream of Fair to Middling Women, Belacqua reflects on the value, ‘in the domain of words, of the little sparkle hid in ashes’: The uniform, horizontal writing, flowing without accidence, of the man with style, never gives you the margarita. But the writing of, say, Racine or Malherbe, perpendicular, diamanté, is pitted, is it not, and sprigged with sparkles; the flints and pebbles are there, no end of humble tags and commonplaces. They have no style, they write without style, do they not, they give you the phrase, the sparkle, the precious margaret.
The Netherlands: A Turning Point in Dutch–EU Relations?
Authors: Verdun Amy 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
With some stretch of the imagination one could argue that since the early 2000s events in the Netherlands have only just fallen short of a political revolution—in otherwise a steady pro-European, elite-driven, consensual political system. The political turmoil had at its heart attitudes towards Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) and the euro as well as to the European Union (EU) more generally. These developments marked a clear change from what had gone on before the euro banknotes and coins were introduced in 2002. Thus the analysis of the developments in the Netherlands over the period 2002–7 stand in stark contrast to the developments over the prior five years (Verdun 2002).
Poland: From Pacesetter to Semi-Permanent Outsider?
Authors: Zubek Radoslaw 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
This chapter examines the politics of Euro Area accession in Poland in the final stages of EU enlargement negotiations and in the first few years of EU membership.1 In particular, it explains why Poland’s position changed from that of a pacesetter, seeking fast-track euro entry, to that of a semi-permanent outsider, postponing euro entry for the foreseeable future. Two years before EU accession, the government and central bank began to work hand in hand to pave the way for a fast-track euro entry. Within a year the target date for entry was pushed back. This about-face was complete when, in late 2005, prompt accession was ruled out, and the Polish government declined to fix a new date. In abandoning its plans for speedy accession, Poland has joined Hungary and the Czech Republic, two other central European states in which early enthusiasm for euro entry gave way to a general Euro-malaise (cf. Dyson 2006c; Greskovits in this volume).
Semantic Minimalism and Nonindexical Contextualism
Authors: MacFarlane John 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
My niece is four and a half feet tall— significantly taller than the average 7 year old. With this in mind, I might say ‘‘Chiara is tall’’, and, it seems, I would be speaking truly. Yet it also seems that if her basketball coach were to say ‘‘Chiara is tall’’ while discussing who should play which position on the team, he would not be speaking truly. What can we conclude about the meaning of ‘‘tall’’?
Minimal (Disagreement about) Semantics
Authors: Clapp Lenny 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
The semantic minimalist maintains that for every grammatical sentence the semantic values of the words it contains (perhaps relative to a context) and the logical form of the sentence determine a unique proposition that is the semantic content of the sentence (perhaps relative a context). The truth conditional pragmatist denies that sentences, even relative to a context, encode such semantic contents. My purpose here is to argue that on this point of contention Semantic Minimalism faces a daunting challenge, one that its advocates have thus far failed to meet. The challenge, which I will call the naturalistic challenge, is this. Suppose it is a fact that a sentence S (perhaps taken relative to a context) encodes proposition P as its semantic content. What fixes, or grounds, this fact? In other words, of the uncountably many propositions or sets of truth conditions there are, what makes it the case that P, as opposed to P*, is the semantic content of S? I think that it is agreed on all sides that if it is a fact that P is the semantic content of S (perhaps relative to context), then this fact must be grounded in natural psychological and/or sociological facts concerning the abilities and practices of competent speakers and interpreters. If the alleged facts concerning semantic content are not somehow grounded in such natural facts, then semantics would not fit into Chomsky’s cognitive paradigm in linguistics, nor even into the broader project of ‘‘naturalizing epistemology’’.
Critic of contemporary art
Authors: Hewison Robert 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Turner, Gothic architecture, and the Pre-Raphaelites were the topics of Ruskin ’s four Edinburgh lectures of 1853, published the following year in revised form as Lectures on Architecture and Painting. A writer for the Edinburgh Guardian recorded this impression of Ruskin’s first public appearance as a lecturer: Mr Ruskin has light sand-coloured hair; his face is more red than pale; the mouth well cut, with a good deal of decision in its curve, though somewhat wanting in sustained dignity and strength; an aquiline nose; his forehead by no means broad or massive, but the brows full and well bound together.
Imperilled princess
Authors: Collinson Patrick 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Elizabeth’s whole life was one of artificiality, and how far her religion was one of those artifices will never be known. At four-teen, however, real life caught up with her, with consequences which may have made her forever suspicious of aspects of it. On Henry’s death on 28 January 1547 Elizabeth made her household, perhaps for the first time, with Katherine Parr, now dowager queen. But about June 1547 Katherine, with indecent haste, took for her third husband the lord admiral, Thomas Seymour, Baron Seymour of Sudeley, younger brother of Edward Seymour, duke of Somerset, lord protector and governor of Edward VI.
The end of the reign
Authors: Collinson Patrick 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
De Maisse arrived in England in late 1597 to treat with Elizabeth and her privy councillors about matters of peace and war. Only a month before, in October, there was a new national emergency when another Spanish Armada headed for Corn-wall, only to be dispersed in an autumn storm. Once again, God had blown and his enemies had been scattered. Henri IV was preparing to negotiate peace with Spain (the treaty of Vervins, 2 May 1598), and the object of the de Maisse mission was to find out whether or not Elizabeth was inclined to join in the negotiations. The interests of the Dutch estates were part of the equation, Burghley reminding the ambassador that the war was ‘a game for three persons’ ( Journal, 105).
The image and the memory of Elizabeth
Authors: Collinson Patrick 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
In this account of Elizabeth’s life, the dichotomy of woman and queen has been constantly emphasized; but actually there is a trichotomy, the third facet being that of image and allegory. Elizabeth played many parts and enjoyed a range of mythical, symbolical, and metaphorical existences. This Elizabethan world of infinite contrivance is most familiar to readers of Spenser’s Faerie Queene. His Elizabeth is Belphoebe and Gloriana: Belphoebe the type of virtuous and chaste beauty, Gloriana that of glorious sovereignty.
The Illusion of Self-Sufficiency
Authors: Macintyre Alasdair 
Published: November 2023

Abstract
Alasdair MacIntyre is known as both a radical critic of modernity and of modern moral philosophy, andanadvocate of an account of ethics in the tradition of Aristotle and Aquinas. He was born in Glasgow in 1929 and began graduate study in philosophy in 1949 at Manchester University, where he became a lecturer two years later. In the decades that followed, MacIntyre worked in a wide range of areas, contributing to debates on Marxism and Christianity, the philosophy of social science, the philosophy of psychoanalysis, and the history of moral philosophy.
