Extract

IN 1584 A brief introduction to the art of music, one of the earliest books in English on the theory of music, was published in London. William Bathe the author was then a student at St. John's College, Oxford. The young man's promise of a greatly improved system for the teaching of singing and music is not central to our purpose. His dedication of the work to Gerald Fitzgerald, 11th Earl of Kildare, was imprudent. This highlighting of his ‘uncle’, or more accurately granduncle, was intended to gain wider acceptance for his work but the ‘Wizard Earl’ was at that time lodged in the Tower suspected of complicity with Viscount Baltinglass in ‘actual rebellion’.
