5.0 out of 5 stars A reference for the study of English Renaissance music 10 Aug 2011
By Jean Louchet
Amazon Verified Purchase
This is one of the reference documents for the study of English Renaissance music, by one of the very best composers of the period.

Please note that the title may be misleading: this book will be of interest to accomplished professional (or advanced amateur) musicians who want to get a better knowledge of Renaissance music, it is certainly not a book for (modern) beginners in music!

4.0 out of 5 stars SMALL PRINT! Also more for an historian. 5 Mar 2010
By Christo Bresnahan - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm a classical musician who has been reading old treatises on composition: Zarlino, Fux and so on. I got Morely's hoping for his slant on the topic but the printing in this edition is really tiny and the English is that of the 1500's. This makes it quite difficult for my 41 year old eyes to get much out of the book.

The Zarlino and Fux are actually much easier to understand because they have both been translated into modern English. Whereas its fun to read Morely's verbal style, his humor, I personally find the tiny print (it really could not be any smaller and still be sold!) to be very physically tiring -no, I don't need glasses, other books are fine. :)

Being familiar with British musical terminology is a must ("quavers", and so on).
