New and expanded edition! A Performer's Guide to Renaissance Music Second Edition Edited by Jeffery Kite-Powell |
|
A revised and expanded guide to performance practice issues in Renaissance music "This volume stands as an admirable update to an already-informative how-to manual for performing Renaissance music. . . . The present edition comprises 31 essays by noted scholar-performers, including Bruce Dickey, Paul O'Dette, Anthony Rooley, Alexander Blachly, and Alejandro Planchart. . . . All the essays are thorough yet not too in-depth, concise but not superficial, and all offer solid starting points for further exploration. This volume . . . should be helpful to both performers and directors. . . . Recommended." —Choice Revised and expanded since it first appeared in 1991, the guide features two new chapters on ornamentation and rehearsal techniques, as well as updated reference materials, internet resources, and other new material made available only in the last decade.
The guide is comprised of focused chapters on performance practice issues such as vocal and choral music; various types of ensembles; profiles of specific instruments; instrumentation; performance practice issues; theory; dance; regional profiles of Renaissance music; and guidelines for directors. The format addresses the widest possible audience for early music, including amateur and professional performers, musicologists, theorists, and educators.
Jeffery Kite-Powell is Professor and Coordinator of Music History and Musicology at Florida State University, where he teaches courses on musicology and music history, and directs the FSU Early Music Ensemble and the vocal group Cantores Musicæ Antiquæ.
