INTRO: The boom years for Early Music — Medieval, Renaissance
and Baroque — have come and gone. Like most musical trends,
it left a core of passionate fans, a larger group of casual listeners,
and the majority unaware of its charms.
At the end of the 16th century, The Camerata of Florence
revolutionized music by turning away from polyphony and returning
to an older style. In the 20th century, one of the drivers of the
Early Music revival was so-called "authentic performance" practice
— the attempt to reproduce the original sound and playing style
of the time on period instruments. Today, that's giving way to a
freer, more creative practice: aware and respectful of the original,
but open to improvisation, extension, and new discoveries.
On this transmission of HEARTS of SPACE, we focus on some of
those new discoveries in early music from the ECM label,
on a program called CAMERATA NOVA.
