What reading level is English Glees And Part-Songs, An Inquiry Into Their Historical Development book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The pensive character of much of his music may be attributed to his constant struggles with bodily pain. The tenderness of his mode of expres- sion may be traced to his natural amiability of disposition. He was one of the favourite pupils of Dr. Cooke, of Westminster, and produced his first glee for three voices, 'Lightly o'er the village green,' under him in 1787. In 1793 he obtained two prizes for glees at the Catch Club, and these were so highly thought of that their composer was everywhere ...received with favour, and the appearance of a ' Set of Six Glees ' in 1799 permanently established his reputation. One of these was ' Hail ! smiling morn,' probably the most popular glee ever written. It may be described as a harmonised air, and as such is considered as the point of departure towards the new style which arose out of the glee. It is essen- tially a 'part-song,' of the form which became general sixty years later.
The distinction of form acquired by the glee THE CONCENTOEES SODALES 271 was not then exactly defined, and all compositions for voices without accompaniment were called glees, whether they possessed or did not possess the con- trasted movements which are now held to indicate the character of the true glee.
