"Music, Nothing but music ...
In the second of his monthly series trawling the depths of British musical history, Roderick Swanston comes up with treasures from the Eton Choirbook and discovers why the Dutch humanist Erasmus was so jealous of what went on in English churches:
" ... they have so much music in England that the monks attend to nothing else ... they fancy they can please God by gurgling in their throats."
