David Friddle Music Books: Sing Romantic sku-1792766196

David Friddle's Sing Romantic Music Romantically: Nineteenth-Century Choral Performance Practices is a hardcover listed under Music Books as sku-1792766196. It examines how nineteenth-century choral music was performed, a subject with few comprehensive sources.

Drawing on contemporaneous accounts and more than one hundred musical examples, illustrations, tables and photographs, Friddle discusses articulation, ornamentation, phrasing, tempo, vibrato, period pronunciation, instruments and orchestral and choral placement.

The book builds on historically informed performance research that has covered Renaissance, Baroque and Classical choral music more extensively than nineteenth-century works.
