"Over the centuries Scandinavia has made notable contributions to the musical world in the fields of composition, performance, and criticism. In this book, which is probably the first of it's kind in English, Mr. Horton summarizes the musical history of Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Finland from the earliest times to the present day, and puts the contributions of each country into prospective. Particular mention is made of the contacts between Scandinavia and the British Isles; those in the middle ages and the 17th century when the John Dowland and other music musicians served at the Danish court, and the Oliver Cromwell's ambassador to Sweden made notes on the music there are the most striking period." Taken from the flap.

Wonderful edition to any home library or as a gift to the Scandinavian historic music lover in your life. Very good condition with cloth blue boards & scarce original rose colored paper dust jacket, still nice but has very mild general wear with some light staining. Spotless interior, looks to be hardly read. Clipped inner flap. Cloth hardcover extremely nice, shows a mild crimp at lower edge.
