V. Read the text and
choose the best answer.
The period from the defeat
of the Spanish Armada to the death of James I represents one of Europe’s most
brilliant “golden ages”.
Elizabethan civilisation
was the fruit of an exceptionally favourable political and social union. The
year 1588, which saw the defeat of the “Invincible Armada”, ushered in an age
inspired by a new sense of self-confidence and optimism. It was really from
this moment that music and theatre began to spread their wings. In the
theatre for which Shakespeare wrote, music held an important place, and
composers actively collaborated in plays which they enriched with
numerous music pieces accompanied on the lute or viols. Unfortunately, owing to
the essentially ephemeral nature of the occasion, much of this music is now
lost.
But perhaps one of the
most remarkable features of the Elizabethan age was the popularity of music
making. In a period when public concerts were still unknown, the abundance of
musical publications is explained by the great demand for music by amateurs.
Everyone sang madrigals, most sizeable households possessed a chest of viola,
and the virginal for which the keyboard composers poured out flood of fine
music , was still more popular. As for the lute, such was its popularity
that it was even to be found in barbers’ shops, so that customers might pluck a
few chords while awaiting their turn. Any young man unable to take his proper
place in a vocal or instrumental concert became a laughing-stock of the
society.
Religious music plays a
definitely lesser role compared with the preceding period, even though it is
represented by the masterpieces of Byrd and Gibbons.
