LECTURE: How the Early Music Movement Got to be HIP (FREE)
plus a period-instrumental Zoo!
Richard and Judith Fox – presenters
The Early Music Movement was mainly a post- WWII development, whose mission was to challenge and reform the repertoire and performance practices of Western Classical Music. Early music performers rediscovered forgotten repertoire, recovered premodern instruments , followed performance practices at variance from modern musicianship, and altered the relationship between performer and listener by their style, dress, and playing locales. Initially, the Early Music Movement, like all social movements, depended on “charismatic” zeal and attracted performers with diverse objectives and orientations. Arnold Dolmetsch, David Munroe, and Noah Greenberg represent this diversity, and we will see/hear examples of the Early Music they championed. Over the last 75 years, many of their innovations have become accepted by contemporary performers, and we will see/hear examples of this new mainstream. “Historically informed performance” or “HIP” is their label today for a creative translation of past music that respects its differences from present practice. The talk will be illustrated with many musical examples and there will be a “petting zoo” of instruments from the past to try afterward (none that bite or claw, however).
