White, B orcid.org/0000-0002-9011-5578 (Cover date: October 2023) Dr Cooke's Protest: Benjamin Cooke, Samuel Arnold and the Directorship of the Academy of Ancient Music. Journal of the Royal Musical Association, 148 (2). pp. 341-372. ISSN 0269-0403
Abstract
In 1789, the Academy of Ancient Music replaced Benjamin Cooke with Samuel Arnold as its musical director. This article offers a detailed analysis of an autograph copy of the address Cooke delivered to the Academy responding to their action, and of a letter to Cooke from Arnold countering accusations made regarding his conduct in the affair. Both documents are annotated by Henry Cooke, who used them in writing a biography of his father. These documents enable a new understanding of the significant changes made within the Academy in the 1780s and of the reasons Academy subscribers replaced Cooke with Arnold.
