Disappointing for MeBy NRLAs a fan of early music; I was attracted to this book because s sample pages promised insights and discussion about the links between the early music movement and the politics and folk revival of the sixties. In fact; while these links are asserted in a few sentences; they are not developed. Instead; the book is a strange mix - an attempt at a historical overview of the music from medieval times to Bach and Handel on the one hand and a cursory listing of early musics performers on the other. Because the book is part of a series intended by Oxford University Press as "A Very Short Introduction;" both topics are handled in very summary manner. Those interested in an historical overview will find this book necessarily brief but interesting. Those wanting discussion of the social aspects of the early music revival will; like me; be disappointed. A better treatment of the revival; though it doesnt go into the social or political overtones; is Harry Haskells "The Early Music Revival: A HIstory;" published by Thames and Hudson in 1988.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Good overview on performance issuesBy Mitch BaywatchThis is a good overview on the performance issues related to Early Music; including the history of Early music revivals. Readers looking for a composers-and-their-works summary should go elsewhere. Despite chapters with the word "repertories" in the titles; theres practically none of that here; with most significant composers name-checked at most. The Baroque section does go into a bit of detail about how and why it moved away from polyphony. For the most part; however; this is a book about performance.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. An excellent resource for amateur players of early musicBy DaisyIt may be a short introduction; but it is packed with clear; interesting information; especially about Renaissance and Baroque music; covering development of the distinctive compositional features and performance styles.
