The fourth edition of the AEM publication Music for the Duke of Lerma is now available! Editor Douglas Kirk shares new research on the origins of the part books and includes photos of the church where the music was performed. The books will be on sale at the Music and Instrument Exhibition this weekend, July 14-15, at Blaustein Hall, Connecticut College as well as on this website. The book was out of print for over six months in anticipation of the new edition. We're delighted that it is now out.
