This volume presents the early views of philosophers and musicians having to do with the general background of what is known as Performance Practice. Performance Practice refers to the knowledge needed by musicians in bringing to life, in the form of present tense performance, older compositions, in view of the fact that we have a very incomplete system for the notation of music. But there are other problems besides our inadequate notational system. These include broad issues of society, the nature of the musical instruments themselves, acoustics, how the listener's brain "hears" music and...

Ancient Views on Music and Religion
ISBN: 9781936512720 / Angielski / Miękka / 2013 / 266 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. This volume is a compilation of original philosophic views on the relationship of music and religion as early history progressed towards more modern times, beginning with the strong association of music with religion.

By the later Middle Ages public demand and the rediscovery of the books of the ancient philosophers caused the Church to reform its views. The public wisdom and the true nature of music found a perfect marriage in the writings of...
