Even before the advent of the English players the increasing popularity of instrumental music, as a means of entertainment between the acts, tended toward the gradual elimination of the choral song. At first instrumental music was introduced in addition to the chorus, but later in the century there was a tendency to omit the choral ode en- tirely. Consequently the appearance of the "English come- dians, " who relied for their popularity upon the use of instrumental music, dances and acrobatic f...eats between the acts of their plays, hastened rather than caused the abolition of the choral song.
CHAPTER IV FROM GRYPHIUS TO GOTTSCHED During the Thirty Years' War practically all connection with the literature of the sixteenth century was severed. With the exception of the English plays which were occasionally performed dramatic productions were entirely forgotten. 1 Accordingly when, at the end of the war, the dramatists again turned to play-writing, they were compelled to follow foreign models.
