What is rhetorical music? In The Pathetick Musician, Bruce Haynes
and Geoffrey Burgess illustrate the vital place of rhetoric and
eloquent expression in the creation and performance of Baroque
music. Through engaging explorations of the cantatas of J.S. Bach,
the authors explode the conventional notion of historical
authenticity in music, proposing adventurous new directions to
reinvigorate the performance of early music in the modern setting.
Along the way, Haynes and Burgess investigate intersections between
music and oratory, dance, gesture, poetry, painting and sculpture,
and offer insights into figural elaboration, articulation, nuance
and temporality. Aimed primarily at performers of Baroque music,
the book situates the study of performance practice in a broader
cultural context, and as much as an invaluable resource for
advanced study, it contains a wealth of information that pertains
directly to anyone working in the field of early music. Based on a
draft sketched by celebrated Baroque oboist and early music scholar
Bruce Haynes before his death in 2011, The Pathetick Musician is
the fruit of the combined wisdom of two musicians renowned equally
for their contributions as performers and scholars. Drawing on an
impressive array of Classical treatises on oratory, musical
autographs and performance accounts, it is an essential companion
to Haynes' controversial The End of Early Music. Geoffrey Burgess
has taken up the broader claims of Haynes' philosophy to create a
practical, accessible text that will be stimulating for all
musicians interested in the rediscovery of early music. With
copious musical examples, contemporaneous works of art, and a
companion website with supplementary audio recordings, The
Pathetick Musician is an invaluable resource for all interested in
exploring new expressive possibilities in the performance and study
of Baroque music.
