Reviews

Comprehensive ... a vital reference manual for scholars wishing to pursue further research in this field. Victorian Studies This book fills a significant lacuna in current scholarship and fills it well ... This is plainchant history of a particular type, not often encountered in the scholarly literature, and well worth the attention of both music and church historians. Music and Letters With ... this publication, Bennett Zon has accomplished what might be called a biographical coup. Music historians of eighteenth-century England have known of the ambassadorial chapels in London and presumed that mass was read, but little did most suspect how vigorous a world of plainchant occurred there. Not only was the mass sung, but books were published ... to instruct people how to do so. And, Zon shows these practices led directly to the public, Anglican as well as Catholic, revival of plainchant in the nineteenth century. Michael A. Testa, Anglican & Episcopal Hist. Fascinating study ... Bennett Zon ... combines rigorous scholarship with stimulating musical, liturgical and theological insights. Church Times
