This is the first study to provide a systematic and thorough
investigation of continuo realization styles appropriate to
Restoration sacred music, an area of performance practice that has
never previously been properly assessed. Rebecca Herissone
undertakes detailed analysis of a group of organ books closely
associated with the major Restoration composers Purcell, Blow and
Humfrey, and the London institutions where they spent their
professional lives. By investigating the relationship between the
organ books' two-stave arrangements and full scores of the same
pieces, Herissone demonstrates that the books are subtle sources of
information to the accompanist, not just short or skeleton scores.
Using this evidence, she formulates a model for continuo
realization of this repertory based on the doubling of vocal parts,
an approach that differs significantly from that adopted by most
modern editors, and which throws into question much of the accepted
continuo practice in modern performance of this repertory.
