The Foundations of English Music
Under the direction of Sir Richard Runciman Terry
Plainsong sung by a small choir:
1. Kyrie (De Angelis)
2. Kyrie (Rex Splendens)
3. Alleluia (for May 12)
4. Antiphon (Gloria tibi Trinitas)
5. Angelus ad Virginem
6. Sequence (Laetabundus)
7. Sequence (Victimae Paschali)
8. Sequence (Veni sancte Spiritus)
9. Sequence (Laude Sion)
10. Sequence (Dies irae)
In medieval times the present-day division of music into "sacred" and "secular" did not exist. Plainsong themes found their way into "worldly" compositions; carols—which were then Folksongs pure and simple—found their way into church; Polyphonic masses and motets were written round "secular" tunes.
Musical histories are fond of pointing to the last-named practice as an "abuse" savouring of irreverence. We shall sing three examples of church music, popular in the time of Henry VIII, and if listeners can find any trace of "irreverence" in these three compositions, their ears must be strangely constructed.
We shall, further, feel rewarded if we can dispel some of the popular prejudices against Plainsong. Its two worst enemies are (a) its devotees and (b) the academics. The former would have us believe that every note is sacrosanct: the latter have overlaid it with so much technical jargon that the plain man cannot see the wood for the trees.
Don't believe either of them, good listeners. Our forefathers were human beings like ourselves. Music which held human appeal for them cannot be devoid of interest for us.—R.R.T.
