Alison, Richard: An Hour’s Recreation in Musicke (1606)
£28.00
Edited Edmund Fellowes. Revised Thurston Dart
Paperback
This interesting collection looks back to the ‘Winter’ of Byrd and Mundy in the conservative settings of such verse as My prime of youth (see EM35B); but it is also a contemporary record, with two madrigals celebrating the failure of Guy Fawkes’ Gunpowder Plot against James I.
