Description 1 online resource (59 minutes) Series David Starkey's Music and Monarchy Summary In this sumptuous four-part series, renowned historian David Starkey shows how the monarchy has shaped the history of British music in ways we can hear today, and demonstrates how much of British history is preserved within some of the nation's best-loved tunes. While exploring what the monarchy has done for music, David Starkey also shows what music has done for the monarchy by helping define and perpetuate the distinctive royal identity of the nation. This history of a nation written in music features some of the most glorious pieces ever written - from national anthems to neglected treasures - in the historic royal locations for which they were originally composed, such as St Paul's Cathedral, Westminster Abbey, Buckingham Palace and King's College Cambridge. It takes you from the medieval era and its extraordinary complex choral music, to the innovative instrumental music of the 17th century, right through to the 20th century and provides an entertaining and enlightening new perspective on British history Notes Title from resource description page (viewed April 28, 2021) In English Subject Handel, George Frideric, 1685-1759.
