{"product_id":"9781041023814","title":"A Biographical Dictionary of English Court Musicians, 1485-1714, Volumes I and II by Fiona Kisby","description":"Compiled by scholars with unrivalled knowledge of the sources, this dictionary provides biographies of all musicians and instrument makers employed by the English court from 1485-1714. A number of the musicians featured here have never previously received a dictionary entry. Coverage of these minor figures helps to flesh out the picture of musical life in the court in a way which individual studies of more major composers cannot. In addition to basic biographical details, entries feature information on: appointments; probate material; family background; heraldry; signatures and holograph documents; subscriptions to books; bibliographic references. A finding-list of variant names, details of the succession of court places assumed by musicians and an index of subjects and place names completes this comprehensive reference work.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56419710468469,"sku":"9781041023814","price":110.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9781041023814","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
