Book excerpt: Provides instruction on three important tasks that early music performers often undertake in order to make their work more noticeable and appealing to their audiences. First, the book provides instruction on using early sources - manuscripts, prints, and treatises - in score, parts, or tablature. It then illuminates priorities behind basic editorial decisions - determining what constitutes a 'version' of a musical piece, how to choose a version, and how to choose the source for that version. Lastly, the book offers advice about arranging both early and new music for early instruments, including how to consider instruments' ranges and various registers, how to exploit the unique characteristics of period instruments, and how to produce convincing textures of accompaniment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The worlds of new music and historically informed performance might seem quite distant from one another. Yet, upon closer consideration, clear points of convergence emerge. Not only do many contemporary performers move easily between these two worlds, but they often do so using a shared ethos of flexibility, improvisation, curiosity, and collaboration—collaboration with composers past and present, with other performers, and with audiences. Bringing together expert scholars and performers considering a wide range of issues and case studies, Historical Performance and New Music—the first book of its kind—addresses the synergies in aesthetics and practices in historical performance and new music. The essays treat matters including technologies and media such as laptops, printing presses, and graphic notation; new music written for period instruments from natural horns to the clavichord; personalities such as the pioneering singer Cathy Berberian; the musically “omnivorous” ensembles A Far Cry and Roomful of Teeth; and composers Luciano Berio, David Lang, Molly Herron, Caroline Shaw, and many others. Historical Performance and New Music presents pathbreaking ideas in an accessible style that speaks to performers, composers, scholars, and music lovers alike. Richly documented and diverse in its methods and subject matter, this book will open new conversations about contemporary musical life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a guide to the editorial procedures suitable for music written from the Middle Ages to about 1830 and replaces the 1963 pamphlet by Thurston Dart, Walter Emery, and Christopher Morris. An introductory chapter on the principles of editing and transcribing is followed by three chronologically-arranged chapters: the Middle Ages and early Renaissance, the Renaissance, and Baroque and Classical periods. The final chapter deals with the preparation of copy and other practical matters. The book does not aim to describe early notations in detail; rather it is intended for the guidance of those who have already acquired a good knowledge of palaeography, notation, and source studies, and who may wish to give practical thought to the problems of presentation in the form of an edition. John Caldwell is University Lecturer in Music and a Fellow of Keble College. He has been the general editor of the Series Musica da Camera (OUP) and is general editor of Corpus of Early Keyboard Music (American Institute of Musicology.
