While the movement had made significant strides in exploring choral music from the Renaissance, Baroque, and Classical periods, as well as venturing into the works of Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, and other early nineteenth-century composers, comprehensive sources that delved into the specific performance practices of choral music during this era were lacking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn an effort to bridge this gap in choral scholarship, David Friddle has authored Sing Romantic Music Romantically: Nineteenth-Century Choral Performance Practices. This comprehensive work employs over one hundred musical examples, illustrations, tables, and photographs, along with reliance on influential and contemporaneous sources, to provide a detailed account of the performance practices of the nineteenth century. Friddle delves into expressive devices such as articulation, ornamentation, phrasing, tempo, and vibrato, as well as an in-depth exploration of period pronunciation, instruments, and orchestral\/choral placement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe depth of research and abundance of source material in Sing Romantic Music Romantically make it an invaluable resource for choral professionals worldwide. The book fills a gap in choral scholarship and contributes significantly to our understanding of how choral music sounded and was performed in the nineteenth century. Its insights and methodologies will undoubtedly enhance the performance and appreciation of choral music by musicians and audiences alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 771g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 229 x 158 x 30 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781666911176\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"David Friddle","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44102277890298,"sku":"9781666911176","price":120.78,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1662762108983_book.jpg?v=1662962064","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/sing-romantic-music-romantically-nineteenthcentury-choral-performance-practices-9781666911176","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
