John Birchensha: Writings on Music
’Reading this volume increases one's curiosity about the place of the Royal Society within Resoration London's musical life... This is a substantial volume, well indexed and with quite an extensive bibliography; it will be of particular interest to specialists in music theory, but it also gives some valuable glimpses of the wider intellectual climate of Restoration London.’ The Consort ’The volume represents the ne plus ultra for a scholarly edition. Not a name, concept or source is mentioned that does not receive a gloss or complete commentary.

The editors' contribution both to the conception and execution of this volume is commendable, especially in the extended notes to each chapter which clarify terminology both musical and mathematical, fill in indispensable context, and cross-reference with other theoretical texts. The lengthy Introduction, too, provides a concise and informative account of Birchensha's life and an invaluable overview of his writings and their many interrelationships; it will surely remain the standard biographical account for many years to come. The transcription is exemplary in its clarity and attention to detail.' Viola da Gamba Society Journal '... comprehensive and authoritative... The main achievement of this volume is [...] to make available in a critical edition a body of work, much of which was previously unknown and
