Bøker i The Library of Essays on Music Performance Practice-serien

Examining almost a thousand years of music, this volume provides an overview of the major issues and resources, situating medieval music within the context of the early music revival and the debate on authenticity and providing an extended bibliography of relevant scholarship.

Brings together twenty-two of the most diverse and stimulating journal articles on classical and romantic performing practice, representing a rich vein of enquiry into epochs of music still very much at the forefront of the concert repertoire. In so doing, this title provides a wide range of subject-based scholarship.

We know what, say, a Josquin mass looks like - but what did it sound like? This is a much more complex and difficult question than it may seem. The author has assembled twenty articles, published between 1946 and 2009, by scholars exploring the performance of music from the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.
