Nicholas Temperley is Professor Emeritus of Musicology at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, USA
'Read this book, even if you have to get it from the library and keep renewing it. It will inspire and inform you because there is so much to learn from it...' West Gallery Newsletter '... a model of scholarship that is at once focused and synoptic... it is good to have these essays [...] available between two covers. Written between 1972 and 2006, they demonstrate just how tenacious Temperley's interest in English church music has been throughout his career. It has been a remarkable career, and any book that makes the scholarship more widely available is greatly to be welcomed.' Notes 'For readers without ready access to an academic library this collection is particularly useful, given the breadth of publications from which the essays are drawn.' Journal of the British Institute of Organ Studies
