John Taverner's lectures on music constitute the only extant version of a complete university course in music in early modern England. Originally composed in 1610 in both English and Latin, they were delivered at Gresham College in London between1610 and 1638, and it is likely that Taverner intended at some point to publish the lectures in the form of a music treatise. In this first published edition of Taverner's musical writings, Joseph M. Ortiz comprehensively introduces, edits and annotates the text of the lectures, and an appendix contains the existing Latin version of Taverner's text.
