| Henry VIII: Thirty-five Compositions
Truly a Renaissance prince, he was also a gifted composer who excelled in portraying the pleasures of courtly life through words and music. This book contains all his compositions - songs and consort music, but not Greensleeves! The volume reproduces a remarkable songbook preserved from the early years of the reign, which contains vocal works and instrumental compositions, some of which are by the king himself, and is a unique record of the ceremonies, entertainments and ‘goode dysporttys' of courtly life. Full of fascination not only for musicians but also for social and literary historians, it offers a glimpse of the many-sided activities of the poets and performers around the young monarch, famed for his youthful prowess, whether jousting at Greenwich or vying in splendour with Francis I at the Field of the Cloth of Gold.
