On the Problem of Historical Evolution of the English Consort Genres of the XVI—XVII Centuries

Main Article Content

Abstract

This article deals with the problem of periodization
and genre-stylistic evolution of
English consort style. The author makes an
effort to restore the generic panorama of the
late-Renaissance and early-Baroque instrumental
ensemble music on the basis of recently published
critical editions. It is done by means of
correlating the results of analythical research
with the musical-stylistic characteristic of consort
compositions and ordering the chronological data
of the main stages in the history of
culture. Two points are made in the process:
first, that the birth of the genre of consort
music owes to the development of instrumentalism
and, second, that it is a product of a
gradual reorganization of late Renaissance and
early Baroque traditional generic-stylistic system
into late Baroque system.

Keywords: Baroque period music, England land music, instrumental consort, chamber ensemble
