What do performers of today need to know to make an appropriate contribution to the music of different eras? And what can all musicians usefully learn from the experience of specialists in period performance? The Performer's Guides aim to answer these que stions in a clear, helpful and practical way. All three guides include a historical introduction, a detailed account of how the music of the period was notated and how performers were expected to interpret it. It also includes a guide to sources and editi ons. Further chapters give specialist advice to keyboard players, string players, wind players and singer. The contributors are all musicians with both scholarly expertise and practical experience; they include several leading performers. The text is illu strated with music examples, facsimiles and pictures, and in sound by a full-length CD of excerpts from a wide range of recordings.
Contributors: Jane Glover – Introduction; David Wyn Jones – Historical Background; Cliff Eisen – Notation and Interpretation; David Ward – Keyboard; Duncan Druce – Strings; Colin Lawson – Wind Instruments; Richard Wigmore – Singing; Barry Cooper – Sourc es and Editions.
