- Double-weighted statement
- This project comprises a set of scholarly editions and a substantial book chapter. Together they represent an investigation of progressiveness in Jacobean and Caroline court music, with the components providing different perspectives on this core theme. The work has involved extended, detailed consideration of a large body of musical sources. As such, the output is sizeable in both scale and scope, hence the double-weighting request.

- Additional information
- This group of editions and festschrift chapter together form one substantial component of a large, ongoing project investigating progressiveness in, and transforming our understanding of, Jacobean and Caroline court music. Richard Dering and Angelo Notari were important figures in the importation of the stile nuovo to England. Richard Dering has been the subject of two of the author’s previous publications (_Richard Dering: Motets for One, Two or Three Voices and Basso Continuo_, Musica Britannica 87, and ‘Richard Dering’s Few-Voice Concertato Motets’, _Music & Letters_, 89, both published in 2008) and his editions of Notari’s Collected Works are forthcoming from AR Editions. The Dering Musica Britannica volume submitted here represents the composer’s first foray into the new _concertato_ style: two of the 1617 Motets contain solo writing of the type that he later developed extensively in his few-voice motets. Dering, as well as being organist to Queen Henrietta Maria from 1625 to his death in 1630, was also a member of the King’s ‘lutes, viols and voices’ at the English court; a colleague in this group was Angelo Notari. The author’s festschrift essay examines Notari’s printed collection and his two surviving manuscripts, and notes his importance in transmitting the new Italianate styles to his English colleagues (such as Walter Porter and Henry Lawes, the subjects of other REF submissions by the author). The article is also important in ascribing to Notari a piece previously attributed to Monteverdi (‘Voglio morir’, _Il Lamento di Olimpia nell’Orlando Furioso_). The York Early Music Press editions aim to make available, in scholarly performing editions, little-known ‘new style’ works by English composers of the seventeenth century. The editing here follows a standard editorial paradigm, with the significance lying in the exploration, and making available, of little-known ‘progressive’ Italianate music by English composers.
