The translation of the third volume of Syntagma musicum, a multi-volume work by German composer and theorist Michael Praetorius (1571-1621). Volume III deals with terminolgy and performance practice, and offers us the most detailed commentary available from the 17th century about the performance of particular pieces of music. Praetorius is the most often quoted and excerpted writer on performance practice. In his translation, Kite=Powell has worked with a notoriously difficult syntax to produce a definitive English edition of this important work.
Over the last dozen or so years the musical landscape has been
changed significantly by the revival of early instrumental music.
People are now making and playing many Renaissance and early
baroque instruments which until recently were not even mentioned in
standard dictionaries. Praetorius's De Organographia, first
published in 1618, can be called the book behind the revival. While
it has long been an essential tool for musicologists, it is now
exercising a wider, more popular appeal as the growing multitude of
instrument makers and players seek to base its efforts on this
documentation Praetorius has provided. De Organographia is beyond
argument the most important period book on musical instruments ever
to be written. No comparable work gives us the wide range, the
clarity of description, and above all the scale drawings that we
find in Praetorius.
