Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from History and Antiquities of Nottingham, Vol. 2: In Which Are Exhibited the Various Institutions, Manner, Customs, Arts, and Manufactures of the People; Their Social and Domestic Habits; Civil and Political Conditions, Under Every Successive Government, From Their Conquests by the Normans, Danes, Saxons Henry VII. succeeded lo the throne 1st August 1485, and with Richard III., died the last branch of the royal and illustrious house of Plantagenet, which commenced with Henry II., 1154, and had supplied 14 kings to the British throne, during a period of 331 years. The progress of the people in the arts of liberty, manufactures, trade and commerce, had, during that time, advanced equally if not beyond that which had taken place in any country in Europe, or the world. Still however, they were very far in arrear in all these respects, to what we experience, as will be seen from the following brief summary. Early in the 15th century, and more particularly towards the close, English music began to take a form in which, though in the rudest state, something like modern melody and harmony is distinguishable, and was practised by every person of rank; and all who had received a liberal education, the old English ballads, more than any other cause, nursed and kept alive the spirit of liberty. Ecclesiastical music was studied at the Universities with a view to attainment of degrees, as bachelors and doctors in the art. The instruments then used were tabor, (a small drum played with one hand), and pipe, a sort of whistle; crwth, or violin, trumpets, a bass flute, a gittern, or lute, (a stringed instrument,) and a treble flute, but the harp was more used than any other in their rejoicings; and in their sacred music, the organ. The minstrel profession was chartered by Edward IV., 1469; and the guild, or fraternity, was governed by a marshall and two wardens chosen annually. A minstrel´s pay was 4d. per day, besides other rewards, and clothing for summer and winter. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
