The worlds of new music and historically informed performance may appear vastly different, but upon closer examination, there are clear points of convergence. Many contemporary performers seamlessly navigate between these two realms, employing a shared ethos of flexibility, improvisation, curiosity, and collaboration. This collaboration extends to working with composers from different eras, alongside other performers, and engaging with audiences.
Historical Performance and New Music, the first book of its kind, delves into the synergies in aesthetics and practices between historical performance and new music. This comprehensive volume brings together expert scholars and performers, exploring a wide range of issues and case studies. The essays cover topics such as technologies and media like laptops, printing presses, and graphic notation; new music composed specifically for period instruments, ranging from natural horns to the clavichord; influential figures like pioneering singer Cathy Berberian; musically diverse ensembles like A Far Cry and Roomful of Teeth; and renowned composers Luciano Berio, David Lang, Molly Herron, Caroline Shaw, and many others.
Written in an accessible and engaging style, Historical Performance and New Music offers groundbreaking ideas that resonate with performers, composers, scholars, and music enthusiasts alike. Extensively documented and diverse in its methods and subject matter, this book fosters new conversations about contemporary musical life. It serves as a valuable resource for anyone interested in exploring the intersections between historical performance and new music, broadening our understanding and appreciation of these dynamic artistic fields.
