Summary:
"For the kings and queens of England, a trumpet fanfare or crash of cymbals could be as vital a weapon as a cannon. Showcasing a monarch'
s
power, prestige and taste,
music
has been the lifeblood of many a royal dynasty. From sacred choral works to soaring symphonies,
Music
and
Monarchy
looks at how England'
s
character was shaped by its
music
. To
David
Starkey
and Katie Greening, works like Handel'
s
Water
Music
and Tallis' Mass for
Four
Voices were more than entertainment - they were pieces signalling political intent, wealth and ambition.
Starkey
and Greening examine England'
s
most iconic musical works to demonstrate how political power has been a part of musical composition for centuries. Many of our current musical motifs of nationhood, whether it'
s
the Last Night of the Proms or football terraces erupting in song, have their origins in the way the crown has shaped the national soundtrack"--Dust jacket.
