Medulla Musicke
Medulla Musicke by Thomas Robinson , published in London in 1603 , is a now lost music textbook.
There is even speculation that Mark Musicke might have seemed never even though Thomas Robinson in the introduction of its second plant from 1603, The Schoole of Musicke , seems to relate to the success of medulla Musicke:
"Right courteous gentlemen, and gentle Readers, your fair acceptance of my first fruits from idlenesse, hath eccited mee further to congratulate your Musicall endeauours."
"Yes, gentlemen, and dear readers, your obliging approval of the first fruits of my unworthy work stimulated me to continue to meet your endeavors to learn to make music."
Medulla Musicke is said to have included 40 arrangements of arrangements by William Byrd and Alfonso Ferrabosco of the then famous song Miserere in the form of canons .
