Description

This collection of essays by Mary Cyr examines the written and unwritten performance conventions of French and English music from the 17th and early 18th centuries. Drawing on composers' original notations, marks added by 18th-century performers, historical treatises, and pictorial evidence, the author investigates both vocal and instrumental genres including opera, cantatas, instrumental chamber music, and solo works for viol and violin. The essays address performance conventions that remain controversial, such as the use of gesture by the French opera chorus, alongside lesser-known practices that shaped authentic Baroque interpretation. This Variorum Collected Studies volume provides scholarly insight into how musicians of the period actually performed these works, making it essential for musicologists, performers, and students of Baroque music history seeking to understand the conventions that defined this era.
