Jhone Angus - Monk of Dunfermline & Scottish Reformation Music

Jhone Angus: Monk of Dunfermline & Scottish Reformation Music (2011), by Jamie Reid Baxter, with contributions from Michael Lynch and E. Patricia Dennison, is a richly illustrated study of one of the most significant, yet long-overlooked, figures in sixteenth-century Scottish church music. Published by Dunfermline Heritage Community Projects to commemorate the 450th anniversary of the Scottish Reformation, the book combines biography, local history, religious history, and musicology, while also including a companion CD of Angus's surviving compositions.

Jhone Angus: Monk of Dunfermline & Scottish Reformation Music rescues from obscurity one of Scotland's earliest known composers, revealing how his music survived the destruction of the medieval Church to become an enduring link between Catholic tradition and Protestant reform. Blending biography, Scottish history, and musical scholarship, the book offers a compelling account of the cultural upheaval of the Scottish Reformation and the preservation of one of the nation's greatest musical legacies. It is an invaluable resource for anyone interested in Scottish history, church music, the Reformation, or the rich heritage of Dunfermline Abbey.
