`Roman Monody ... is the first book devoted to a major music patron
in late Renaissance and early Baroque Rome as well as the first
large-scale study devoted by an English-speaking scholar to musical
patronage in earlier times which takes into account a recent debate
on this intriguing subject matter.'
Early Music History, Vol 18
`Hill's discoveries are important, not simply for adding to the
solo song repertory, but for provoking us to recondider the years
around 1600.'
Graham Dixon, Early Music Today
`The editor has discovered a new group of sources; he explains
their context, analyses the musical styles, and edits them so that
they can be studied and performed. He is sensitive to the
difference between notation and performance ... Vol. 2 is a
marvellous anthology: 422 closely-packed pages of 164
mostly-unpublished songs and duets.'
