Itโ€™s here! My book on music for the 1613 Palatine wedding masques! With nice blurbs by some very knowledgeable people (who really did read the book)! With lots of music and a full-color insert! Enjoy!

A Stuart Musicianโ€™s Conversion to Catholicism: Richard Dering and the Venerable English College, Rome ABSTRACT. The English organist and composer Richard Dering (c.1580โ€“1630) is recognized today for his key role in the transmission of Italian musical styles

Big news from 400 years ago! Turns out the 17th-century English musician and composer Richard Dering secretly converted to Catholicism and worked at the Venerable English College in Rome. Proud to publish the research Iโ€™ve done to unearth all of this with Maurice Whitehead.
