Angelo Notari (1566?-1663) was an Italian composer and lutenist to Prince Henry Stuart, King Charles I, and King Charles II of England. During his long life Notari only published one collection of music, his Prime musiche nuove of 1613. In the twentieth century, Notari's autograph was uncovered and his musical hand was established by Pamela Willetts of the British Museum. Willetts's discovery of a large English collection of Italian music in Notari's hand, GB- Lbl Add. 31440, called for a reexamination of Notari's place in the English courts and his role in English history. This dissertation confirms Willetts's original attribution with 40 intervening years of scholarship, and looks more closely at Notari's works. It draws parallels between his printed work and the manuscript, and it more properly contextualizes the manuscript's place in English history. It also postulates links between Notari, continental instrumental music, and the music of the English Restoration.
