by Timothy J. Mcgee

Singing Early Music: The Pronunciation of European Languages in the Late Middle Ages and Renaissance (Music: Scholarship and Performance) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Synopsis:

An invaluable resource on the pronunciation of historic European languages for singers, scholars, actors, and readers of early music and literature. With CD.

Synopsis:

Praise for the cloth edition: Commendable in its scholarship... should prove of interest to linguists, medievalists, and Renaissance academicians, as well as to fastidious performers of early music. — Choice

Singing Early Music is a pioneering work of surpassing quality that cannot be too highly recommended. — Journal of Singing

Addresses the needs of the performer directly, giving historical pronunciations for a range of languages and] sample texts.... The CD that comes with the book will prove invaluable.... David Klausner's recording is admirably consistent and convincing across the wide range of languages. — Early Music

Must buy and read for singers that are performing early music! Not yet another book!!! As I know there was no such book before.
Even competent philologists, if they did not have special training for early periods in the languages, could'nt read aloud correctly. Musicians have much more difficulties ;-) So, the problem is of great importance.
I wish I had this book...
