Hardback. Zustand: Very Good. Reprint of the 1550 edition published by R. Grafton, London - VERY GOOD, No dust jacket as issued. The cloth cover has experienced some mild degradation which is only visual and not structural. The binding is sound - tight and square. The pages are all clean and crisp. There is a silk page mark. [150] pages ; 24 cm. . . . . . . Here, one year after the first English Book of Common Prayer was published in 1549, is the marvelous arrival of music in the Anglican Reformation service. In addition to its pioneering position and rarity, The Booke of Common Praier Noted (?noted? in the title means ?set to music?) is a work of the greatest charm. The slender quarto volume was printed by Richard Grafton in London; the composer?s name, John Merbecke, appears at the end in large gothic letters. The purpose of the Book of Common Prayer was simplicity, ease of use, and comprehension; music followed soon after, as the new vernacular liturgy must have seemed a dull affair with no singing. In the style of old plainsong, The Booke of Common Praier Noted was written so that each chanted syllable had its own note and was thus easily understood. John Merbecke, the Master of the Choristers of the Royal Chapel at Windsor, was entrusted with the musical setting. -- rarebookroom (dot) org. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 2408010004
