- This book is the first in-depth study of secular music at the Elizabethan court. This book departs from traditional ‘court music’ studies in seeing court music as not just a tool of the monarch, but frequently manipulated by courtiers for their own political ends. This necessitated a particularly broad understanding of the idea of ‘court music’ and its participants. Fifty year of plays, masques, tournaments, entertainments at noble households, civic pageantry, private performances, and the Queen’s reputation for musicianship were investigated. The approach was interdisciplinary, examining not just extant music, but art, poetry, printed literature, ambassadors’ reports and other letters.
