  • Victims of Compromise: The Elizabethan Psalm Tunes

    Open AccessNicholas TemperleyARTICLEJournal of the Royal Musical…2021References: 1

    The music of The Whole Book of Psalms (first printed in 1562) was not a product of English tradition, but a new congregational system brought home from Geneva. Psalm tunes in Edward VI’s time had been secular, iambic and based on dance rhythms; in so far as Thomas Sternhold’s metrical psalms were sung in church, they were chanted by choirs to Sarum tones. The tunes created for congregational use by the Marian exiles had to satisfy Calvin’s princi…

  • Musicians of Bath and Beyond: Edward Loder (1809-1865) and his Family

    Open AccessStephen Banfield, Nicholas Temperley et al.BOOKMusicians of Bath and Beyond2016

    Musicians of Bath and Beyond: Edward Loder (1809-1865) and his Family illuminates three areas that have recently attracted much interest: the musical profession, music in the British provincesand colonies, and English Romantic opera. The Loder family was pre-eminent in Bath's musical world in the early nineteenth century. John David Loder (1788-1846) led the theatre orchestra there from1807, and later the Philharmonic orchestra and Ancient Concer…

  • All skillful praises sing’: How congregations sang the psalms in early modern England

    Open AccessNicholas TemperleyARTICLERenaissance Studies2015

    The tunes of The Whole Book of Psalms would become the foundation of congregational singing in England. But when Thomas Sternhold published his first collection of paraphrases (circa 1548) he expected them to be sung in a private domestic context, and the few extant Edwardian settings do not differ in character from secular songs and dances of the time. There is no record of congregational singing until it was adopted by the Marian exiles under t…

  • Metrical Psalmody in Print and Practice: English 'Singing Psalms' and Scottish 'Psalm Buiks', c.1547-1640. By Timothy Duguid

    Nicholas TemperleyARTICLEMusic and Letters2015

    Recent decades have seen a growing interest in the popular hymnody of the past. It was long ignored or disdained by scholars of both music and literature, having neither the intrinsic value and sophistication found in some elite poetry and music nor the romantic appeal of orally transmitted rural folksong. But the ‘new musicology’ has aroused interest in the part played by music in the life of a community. In the last thirty years there have been…

  • Bernarr Rainbow on Music: Memoirs and Selected Writings. By Bernarr Rainbow, with introductions by Gordon Cox and Charles Plummeridge

    Nicholas TemperleyARTICLEMusic and Letters2012

    Bernarr Rainbow (1914–1998) was an important figure in English musical life, and it has been well worth while assembling this tribute to his work. It takes an unconventional form: two introductory assessments; an unfinished autobiographical memoir; a reprint of Rainbow's biography of John Curwen (which is still in print); and a miscellany of his shorter articles and reviews. Although the editors are naturally motivated by respect and warm feeling…

  • Roman Catholic Church Music in England, 1791-1914: A Handmaid of the Liturgy? By T. E. Muir

    Nicholas TemperleyARTICLEMusic and Letters2010

    ‘Roman Catholic church music in nineteenth-century England is a neglected subject’ , begins Thomas Muir. This is undoubtedly true. Until fairly recent times almost all music of nineteenth-century England was neglected. As one who has played a part in reopening the subject I must confess that I have not paid enough attention to the music of the Catholic Church. For instance, in the Athlone (later Blackwell) History of Music, volume 5, covering the…
