| Abstract | Outlines the principles that governed song composition and performance during early 17th-century England, and suggests how they can be applied in modern performances of songs from the period. In an arrangement inspired by the teaching method prescribed by William Kempe in 1588, emphasizes how singers sought to persuade listeners by singing eloquently and acting aptly, then applies those principles to two songs. Includes a glossary without pronunciation. |
