Medieval music has been made and remade over the past two hundred
years. For the nineteenth century it was vocal, without
instrumental accompaniment, but with barbarous harmony that no one
could have wished to hear. For most of the twentieth century it was
instrumentally accompanied, increasingly colourful and increasingly
enjoyed. At the height of its popularity it sustained an industry
of players and instrument makers, all engaged in recreating an
apparently medieval performance practice. During the 1980s it
became vocal once more, exchanging colour and contrast for
cleanliness and beauty. But what happens to produce such radical
changes of perspective? And what can we learn from them about the
way we interact with the past? How much is really known about the
way medieval music sounded? Or have modern beliefs been formed and
sustained less by evidence than the personalities of scholars and
performers, their ideologies and their musical tastes?
