Description
The music of the medieval, Renaissance, and baroque periods has been repeatedly rediscovered and reinterpreted over time. From the revival of Gregorian chant in the early 19th century to recent efforts to recover lost performing styles, there is a long history of interest in reviving and performing music from these eras. This Very Short Introduction explores the forms, techniques, and repertories of medieval, Renaissance, and baroque music, as well as the reasons why old music has been revived and the challenges involved. By examining the practices and styles of these periods, Thomas Forrest Kelly provides a concise overview of early music revivals and their significance. The Very Short Introductions series offers expert authors' insights into almost every subject area in accessible and engaging formats.
