MUSICA BRITANNICA

MUSICA BRITANNICA was founded in 1951 as an authoritative national collection of British music. It is designed to stand alongside existing library editions, and to explore the vast heritage of material still largely untouched by them, thus making available a representative survey of the British contribution to music in Europe. Although its chief purpose is an accurate and scholarly presentation of the original texts, it is also intended to provide a basis for practical performance... In the Bibliothèque nationale, Paris, the great anthologies of music which the Germans call Denkmäler are further dignified as ‘Editions monumentales'. Musica Britannica is indeed a monument to our musical culture. Its Latin title, rather than ‘Music in Britain', is a sign not of modesty, but of pride in the rich heritage we owe to the superimposition of cultures on these islands. The subtitle is ‘A National Collection of Music'. It is the collection which is national: the music is international, both in..
