Notă biografică
'No-one is better qualified to write on the subject of English Church Music' (Peter Phillips) than Andrew Gant, who is the author of Christmas Carols: From Village Green to Church Choir [9781781253526]. He is a composer, choirmaster, university teacher and writer who has directed the choirs of the Guards' Chapel, Worcester College Oxford and Her Majesty's Chapel Royal. He lectures in music at St Peter's College and St Edmund Hall in Oxford.
Recenzii
Excellent ... This authoritative and engaging history brings ... light and warmth to the subject
A wonderfully lively account of one of our greatest stories
An illuminating and entertaining history [...] Drawing on his own extensive experience as choirmaster at the Chapel Royal, Andrew Gant covers this vast territory in breezy, unbuttoned fashion, without recourse to pedantry or jargon.
Making sense of English church music's relationship to the turbulent history of English Christianity is hard enough, but Andrew Gant manages to combine this with a lively survey of the music itself.
A comprehensive and thoughtful survey that is also eminently readable.
an extraordinarily thorough treatment of English church music's history.
Gant's love of this imperishable repertoire, breadth of research and stylish, approachable writing add up to an indispensable guide to a great tradition - and a very good read.
As a former director of choirs at the Chapel Royal and the Guards' Chapel, Gant has false relations and diminished fourths, not to mention hockets, coming out of his professional fingertips. He also has an infectious desire to make sure that we, the congregation, derive as much pleasure from them as he does ... This is a story of church music that celebrates the sheer pleasure of raising a joyful sound to the Lord
A terrific book
I would urge everybody interested in English history to buy this book at once: Mr. Gant maneuvers so elegantly between the better-known historical narrative and the music that reacts to and supports that political ecosystem. [...] The whole time I was reading O Sing Unto the Lord, I was making copious notes to go and rediscover some forgotten anthem. Time after time, passing references to pieces I've sung and loved brought me sharp pangs of nostalgia, followed by a sense of gratitude that this tradition has been such an important part of my musical world.
