New publication: more music before 1650

I have published a new essay on the Texas ScholarWorks platform: link. This includes seventy compositions I found after the Part 2 essay was published in May of this year: link to Parts 2a-d.

Ascending Cadence Gestures, A New Historical Survey, Part 2e: to 1650, addendum

Abstract:
This is Part 2e of a multi-part essay gathering compositions with ascending lines and cadence gestures in European and European-influenced music. Compositions include psalm settings by Le Jeune and Schütz, sacred songs by Henry and William Lawes, music from Felipe Pedrell’s historical anthology of Spanish organ music, keyboard music by Trabaci, instrumental ensemble music by Buonamente, Merula, and Turini.
