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.
