This chapter examines the revival of interest in early English choral music that took place in the first quarter of the twentieth century. It pays particular attention to the religious agendas driving this revival, and to the role of the Tudor Church Music edition, published in the 1920s by Oxford University Press, in promoting this music as a ‘national heritage’ of which all Englishmen could be proud.

When I had the honour of an invitation to read a paper here this evening, the subject suggested to me was “Early English Church Music.” The idea conveyed to my mind by this title was that of a survey of English Church music of the polyphonic period, with an attempt perhaps to compare it with the contemporary Continental schools. It is hardly necessary for me to say that the data at my command are quite insufficient for carrying out any such ambitious scheme, even if it could be brought within the limits of a short paper. It occurred to me, however, that I might make some small contribution to the subject, which might be of assistance to its more adequate treatment in the future. With this view, I propose to confine myself this evening principally to Latin Church music—that is, to music written for the Catholic Liturgy during the 16th and 17th centuries; and to a few of the more representative composers.

The Early English Church Music Committee of the British Academy plans a series of volumes devoted to the music of the fifteenth century, to be supervised by a separate sub-committee. While not constituting a publication list as such, the present enterprise has been commissioned to facilitate the speedier publication of this repertory. Hence, its purpose is to assemble as full as possible a catalogue of the surviving liturgical music that is now thought to be (or has, with varying degrees of certainty, been thought to be) English or to have been written in England. Accordingly, it draws on the work of a considerable number of scholars. The compilers wish to acknowledge the contributions generously made by other members of the EECM fifteenth-century sub-committee, and they also extend a fervent invitation to others to contribute further.
