Music has always played a central role in the life of Oxford, in both the city and university, through the great collegiate choral foundations, the many amateur choirs and instrumentalists, and the professional musicians regularly drawn to perform there. Oxford, with its collegiate system and centuries-long tradition of musical activity, presents a distinctive and multi-layered picture of the role of music in urban culture and university life"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and index Notes Print version record Subject Music -- Instruction and study -- England -- Oxford -- 20th century Music -- England -- Oxford -- History and criticism -- 20th century Music in universities and colleges -- England -- Oxford -- 20th century 20th century history: c 1900 to c 2000.
