Between 1600 and 1900 Britain became a great political and cultural power. yet the period between the ‘golden age’ of the Elizabethans and the ‘renaissance’ of the late Victorians has traditionally been seen as the dark age of British music.

This series aims to challenge and change perceptions by providing a forum for the best new work in the area. It is deliberately inclusive. Britain is interpreted as the British Isles and its developing empire, without neglecting cultural connections with the rest of the world. It encompasses the work of immigrants, emigrants and native musicians, and presents a variety of ways of thinking and writing about music in Britain, including studies of individuals, groups and institutions, analysis, reception histories and work that explores connections between music and religion, politics and the other arts.
