Download or read book Composers' Intentions? written by Andrew Parrott and published by Boydell & Brewer. This book was released on 2015 with total page 423 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book comprises selected essays concerning musical performance practice by conductor Andrew Parrott, an acknowledged expert in the field. Spanning some thirty-five years of Parrott's career as both performer and researcher, the volume brings together seminal writings on Monteverdi, Purcell and J. S. Bach, as well as an expanded version of a major new article from 2015. With a focus on vocal and choral music, the book covers a broad timespan (from the fourteenth to eighteenth centuries) and multifarious approaches (from extensive scholarly articles to radio broadcasts). Authoritative, provocative and readable, Parrott's writing is packed with detailed information of value to scholars, performers, students and curious listeners alike. At the same time, the book sheds light on key topics of historically informed performance from the past four decades. ANDREW PARROTT, conductor, is perhaps best known for his many pioneering recordings of pre-classical repertory from Machaut to Handel, principally for EMI with the London-based Taverner Consort, Choir and Players, which he founded in 1973. Recent CDs include his reconstruction of Bach's 'lost' Trauer-Music for Prince Leopold of Anhalt-Cöthen (released in 2011) and a 'thoroughly researched and re-imagined' account of Monteverdi's L'Orfeo (2013). He is also co-editor of The New Oxford Book of Carols (1992) and author of The Essential Bach Choir (The Boydell Press, 2000).
