Modern musical training tends to focus primarily on performance
practices of the Classical and Romantic periods, and most
performers come to the music of the Renaissance with well-honed but
anachronistic ideas and concepts. As a result, elemental
differences between 16th-century repertoire and that of later
epochs tend to be overlooked-yet it is just these differences which
can make a performance truly stunning. The Performance of
16th-Century Music offers a remedy for the performer, presenting
the information and guidance that will enable them to better
understand the music and advance their technical and expressive
abilities. Drawing from nearly 40 years of performing, teaching,
and studying this repertoire and its theoretical sources, renowned
early music specialist Anne Smith outlines several major areas of
technical knowledge and skill needed to perform the music of this
period. She takes the reader through part-books and choirbooks;
solmization; rhythmic inequality; and elements of structure in
relation to rhetoric of the time; while familiarizing them with
contemporary criteria and standards of excellence for performance.
Through The Performance of 16th-Century Music, today's musicians
will gain fundamental insight into how 16th-century polyphony
functions, and the tools necessary to perform this repertoire to
its fullest and glorious potential.
