The worlds of new music and historically informed performance might
seem quite distant from one another. Yet, upon closer
consideration, clear points of convergence emerge. Not only do many
contemporary performers move easily between these two worlds, but
they often do so using a shared ethos of flexibility,
improvisation, curiosity, and collaboration—collaboration with
composers past and present, with other performers, and with
audiences. Bringing together expert scholars and performers
considering a wide range of issues and case studies, Historical
Performance and New Music—the first book of its kind—addresses
the synergies in aesthetics and practices in historical performance
and new music. The essays treat matters including technologies and
media such as laptops, printing presses, and graphic notation; new
music written for period instruments from natural horns to the
clavichord; personalities such as the pioneering singer Cathy
Berberian; the musically "omnivorous" ensembles A Far Cry and
Roomful of Teeth; and composers Luciano Berio, David Lang, Molly
Herron, Caroline Shaw, and many others. Historical Performance and
New Music presents pathbreaking ideas in an accessible style that
speaks to performers, composers, scholars, and music lovers alike.
Richly documented and diverse in its methods and subject matter,
this book will open new conversations about contemporary musical
life.
