There is a paucity of material regarding how choral music
specifically was performed in the 1800s. The Historically Informed
Performance (HIP) movement has made remarkable advancements in
choral music of the Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical periods,
with modest forays into the music of Beethoven, Schubert,
Mendelssohn, and other early nineteenth-century composers; however,
there are no sources with a comprehensive examination of how choral
music was performed. Using more than one-hundred musical examples,
illustrations, tables, and photographs and relying on influential,
contemporaneous sources, David Friddle details the performance
practices of the time, including expressive devices such as
articulation, ornamentation, phrasing, tempo, and vibrato, along
with an in-depth discussion of period pronunciation, instruments,
and orchestral/choral placement. Sing Romantic Music Romantically:
Nineteenth-Century Choral Performance Practices fills a gap in
choral scholarship and moves forward our knowledge of how choral
music sounded and was performed in the nineteenth century. The
depth of research and abundance of source material makes this work
a must-have for choral professionals everywhere.
(Amadeus). By the author of the critically acclaimed Choral Music
in the Twentieth Century, this volume is an indispensable resource
for choral conductors, a valuable guide for choral singers and
other music lovers, and an essential text for educators and their
students. As with his first book, Nick Strimple reviews 100 years
of choral music literature, offering a straightforward text that is
gratifying and enlightening. Strimple covers repertory by
Beethoven, Brahms, Verdi, Faure, Mendelssohn, Dvorak, Bruch,
Mahler, and lesser figures. The text is illustrated with photos and
musical examples, and appendices include works lists organized by
type of chorus and accompaniment.
