King Arthur in music
"King Arthur in Music is the first book to be devoted to the subject. The range of musical material is too wide for a single author to tackle satisfactorily, and the nine contributors to this volume are experts in the very different fields involved. The first essay, by Robert Shay, deals with the late seventeenth century semi-opera 'King Arthur', while the final essay by William Everitt looks at the appearances of Arthur on stage and screen and the scores that have accompanied these."
