Part history, part explanation of early music, this book also plays devil's advocate, criticizing current practices and urging experimentation. Haynes, a veteran of the movement, describes a vision of the future that involves improvisation, rhetorical expression, and composition.
This is one of the most entertaining and honest books on the subject of early music and the world of period performance in modern times. Haynes retells the remarkable history of the early music movement, from the mid-twentieth century through the past decade, discussing how the prominent performers and pedagogues in the field have shaped the path we are currently on. This book is essential for anyone who is actively performing or interested in historical performance, inspiring us all to continue actively combining creativity, musicianship, and scholarship.
