Restoration Theatre Song Archive

The dataset is an encoding as a TEI Corpus of the resource available as web pages and descibed there:This archive, containing a close
to complete record of the words of songs performed on the London
stage between 1600 and 1702/3 and a substantial proportion of the
surviving music, was prepared by Anthony Butler under an Australian
Research Council grant awarded to Harold Love. We are grateful to
the ARC and Monash University for their generous support of this
project. Valued assistance and support was also given by Tracey Caulfield,
Peter Groves, Felicity Henderson, Carlin Payne, Chris Worth and Philip
Wheatland. The primary aim of the project was
to assemble material for a projected study by Harold Love of the
Restoration theatre song as a performed work, to be conducted through
a combination of stage-historical, musicological and dramaturgical
understandings. As such it is to be regarded as a working tool, not
a finished and complete record of its subject matter. It is offered
in its present form for scholars, musicians, and theatre performers
for whom it may have either this or other uses.

该数据集是对1600年至1702/3年间在伦敦舞台上表演的歌词及其大量存世音乐的记录进行编码，并以TEI语料库的形式呈现。此档案，包含了一份接近完整的记录，由Anthony Butler根据授予Harold Love的澳大利亚研究理事会（ARC）资助项目整理而成。我们对ARC和莫纳什大学对该项目的慷慨支持表示衷心的感谢。此外，Tracey Caulfield、Peter Groves、Felicity Henderson、Carlin Payne、Chris Worth和Philip Wheatland也提供了宝贵的协助和支持。项目的首要目标是收集材料，为Harold Love对复辟时期剧院歌曲作为表演作品的预期研究做准备，该研究将通过舞台历史学、音乐学和戏剧学的综合理解进行。因此，它被视为一个工作工具，而非其主题内容的最终完整记录。现以当前形式提供给学者、音乐家和剧院表演者，供他们进行进一步的研究或使用。
