English Cathedral Music and Liturgy in the Twentieth CenturyExamining the development of English cathedral music during a period of liturgical upheaval, Martin Thomas demonstrates that stylistic change in cathedral music was impeded by leading church music figures and organisations resulting in its becoming an identifiable, consistent, and archaic genre. Drawing on primary sources from libraries and archives of cathedrals, Thomas explores contemporary press coverage and the records of church music bodies, publishing practices, secondary literature, and the music itself. This book offers an important resource for music, theology, and liturgy students and ministry teams worldwide. |
