Butt, John, Music education and the art of performance in German baroque.pdf

In considering the role of practical music in education this book attempts

to define the art of performance in Germany during the Baroque period.

The author examines the large number of surviving treatises and instruc-

tion manuals used in the Lutheran 'Latin' schools during the period

1530-1800 and builds up a picture of the function and status of music

in both school and church. The understanding, gained through these

educational texts, of music as a functional art - musica practica — in turn

gives us insight into the thoughts of the contemporary performer and

how he might have performed the sacred works of Praetorius, Schutz,

Buxtehude or Bach.

For all those interested in historical performance this book provides

valuable information on the growing science of performance practice and

the development of a conscious awareness of style and idiom in this period.
