It is difficult to imagine a group more indebted, or, indeed, more beholden, to the great English Renaissance musician Thomas Morley than ourselves -- the readers of these pages -- as Tessa Murray's new and comprehensive study here under review amply reveals. EARLY MUSIC (W)ith massive reference and exceptionally useful appendices, giving a fine, detailed background to the whole topic. . . . (T)he sheer range of factual information (Murray's book) provides . . . all this is enormously useful. MUSICAL TIMES Fantastic study of the life of one of the English composers least visited by musicologists ... a remarkable perspective on the world of music publishing and printing in the British Isles ... an indispensable tool ... An excellent work carried out by Tessa Murray, whom Boydell Press has had the wisdom to publish for the benefit of passionate scholars, interpreters and readers of this fascinating period. DOCENOTAS

A final impressive aspect of this interesting and informative book is the amount of source material used in creating it. . . . Each chapter demonstrates that . . . [Murray] knows how to use them in support of her arguments. Two well-constructed indexes complete a book that very successfully presents us with a more rounded, and multi-faceted, portrait of Thomas Morley. . . . There is much to learn here, and much to think about.
