| Summary or Abstract
|
:
|
The music books compiled by the English Catholic gentleman Edward Paston (1550-1630) form one of the most extensive English manuscript collections of the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. It has proved a rich repository of every genre cultivated at the time except keyboard music, yielding numerous works by English composers not found in any other extant contemporary source.Often overlooked in the collection is the large number of pieces of Latin-texted sacred music by continental composers. The presence of this repertoire in the Folger partbooks and other Paston manuscripts constitutes an important witness to the continued interest in such music in Renaissance England at a time when most opportunities for its liturgical performance, whether public or private, were proscribed. Paston's interest in this music cannot be understood apart from an appreciation of the role of the Catholic recusant community in the cultivation of musical life in England..
