Reviews

...of lasting value coming from so thorough and reliable an author as Burrows. This is a major contribution to the study of English church music in the broadest sense...Burrows Chapel Royal will surely remain the canonical text...and many a non-specialist would find the coverage as absorbing as will music historians. Peter Williams The Musical Times Burrows provides us with an exhaustively researched and invaluable resource Eighteenth-Century Music, Volume 4/1
