Peter Philips (1560/61–1628) was born in England, but spent most of his life on the Continent. Some of his music may be considered 'renaissance', but in other respects he is a 'forward-looking baroque' composer. This course will examine his career and his music, using it as a case study for considering wider issues surrounding periodisation, nationalism, and the value placed on music that does not seem to belong a to mainstream 'school'. In the case of musicians for whom biographical information is incomplete, a narrative account of the composer's life and work may not be as instructive as an approach that examines the religious and cultural networks in which he operated as well as musical ones.
