Flynn, Jane. "A Reconsideration of the Mulliner Book (British Library Add. MS 30513): Music Education in Sixteenth-Century England." Ph.D. diss., Duke University, 1993. [Excerpt from Dissertation Abstracts: "The dissertation describes in detail the training and career expectations of choristers during the pre-Reformation period and compares them with the different methods and aims of the end of the sixteenth century, when choristers spent far more time studying in the class-room than in performing the liturgy. The whole approach to music education became more 'academic' than practical, with an emphasis on written rather than oral (improvised) exercises."] |
