Songs for Masques and Plays
View through CrossRef
Abstract
As a member of the King’s Musick, Lawes must have been involved in most if not all the court masques of the 1630s. These were important events in the annual round of court life during the reign of Charles I, and it was as a place to perform them that Inigo Jones’s Banqueting House—still surviving with its wonderful Rubens ceiling—was built. Ironically, masques were discontinued in the hall from 1638 because of the threat to the ceiling posed by soot from the hundreds of candles that were required to illuminate these spectacles; a separate masquing hall was built, but within a few years there was no longer any need, for the court itself had ceased to exist.

As a member of the King’s Musick, Lawes must have been involved in most if not all the court masques of the 1630s.
These were important events in the annual round of court life during the reign of Charles I, and it was as a place to perform them that Inigo Jones’s Banqueting House—still surviving with its wonderful Rubens ceiling—was built.
Ironically, masques were discontinued in the hall from 1638 because of the threat to the ceiling posed by soot from the hundreds of candles that were required to illuminate these spectacles; a separate masquing hall was built, but within a few years there was no longer any need, for the court itself had ceased to exist.
