Books by Ross W. Duffin

"A fascinating and genuinely accessible guide....Educating, enjoyable, and delightfully unscary."-Classical Music

Thomas Ravenscroft is best-known as a composer of rounds owing to his three published collections: Pammelia and Deuteromelia (both 1609), and Melismata (1611), in addition to his harmonizations of the Whole Book of Psalmes (1621) and his original sacred works. A theorist, composer and editor, Ravenscroft wrote two treatises on music theory.

A remarkable work that recovers the songs Shakespeare's audiences actually heard and brings them to life through performance.
