The Sounds and Sights of Performance in Early Music: Essays in Honour of Timothy J. McGee

Autor Maureen Epp Editat de Brian E. Power
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 28 oct 2009
The experience of music performance is always far more than the sum of its sounds, and evidence for playing and singing techniques is not only inscribed in music notation but can also be found in many other types of primary source materials. This volume of essays presents a cross-section of new research on performance issues in music of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. The subject is approached from a broad perspective, drawing on areas such as dance history, art history, music iconography and performance traditions from beyond Western Europe. In doing so, the volume continues some of the many lines of inquiry pursued by its dedicatee, Timothy J. McGee, over a lifetime of scholarship devoted to practical questions of playing and singing early music. Expanding the bases of inquiry to include various social, political, historical or aesthetic backgrounds both broadens our knowledge of the issues pertinent to early music performance and informs our understanding of other cultural activities within which music played an important role. The book is divided into two parts: 'Viewing the Evidence' in which visually based information is used to address particular questions of music performance; and 'Reconsidering Contexts' in which diplomatic, commercial and cultural connections to specific repertories or compositions are considered in detail. This book will be of value not only to specialists in early music but to all scholars of the Middle Ages and Renaissance whose interests intersect with the visual, aural and social aspects of music performance.

Recenzii

’... [a] beautifully illustrated collection... several contributions have practical implications that will be of interest to early music performers'. The Medieval Review ’[a] welcome collection of essays ... [that] builds up a picture of how medieval and renaissance music would have been performed, and what it would have sounded like. This worthy tribute to a valued colleague and teacher shows how much musicology can contribute to the performance of early music.’ Whole Note '.. the individual articles will have an important impact on students in various disciplines. ... a fine collection of essays, and Timothy J. McGee should be proud of having inspired such a distinguished group of authors to publish them in his honor.' Early Music America

Descriere

The experience of music performance is always far more than the sum of its sounds, and evidence for playing and singing techniques is not only inscribed in music notation but can also be found in many other types of documents and materials. This volume of essays presents a cross-section of new research on performance issues in medieval and renaissance music. The subject is approached from a broad perspective, drawing on complementary disciplines such as dance history, art history, music iconography and performance traditions from beyond western Europe. In doing so, the volume continues some of the many lines of enquiry pursued by its dedicatee, Timothy J. McGee, over a lifetime of scholarship devoted to practical questions of playing and singing early music.
