Listeners, performers, students and teachers will find here the analytical tools they need to understand and interpret musical evidence from the baroque era. Scores for eleven works, many reproduced in facsimile to illustrate the conventions of 17th and 18th century notation, are included for close study. Readers will find new material on continuo playing, as well as extensive treatment of singing and French music. The book is also a concise guide to reference materials in the field of baroque performance practice with extensive annotated bibliographies of modern and baroque sources that guide the reader toward further study. First published by Ashgate (at that time known as Scolar Press) in 1992 and having been out of print for some years, this title is now available as a print on demand title.

Mary Cyr is Professor of Music, Emerita, at the University of Guelph, Canada.

Contents: Preface; Performance practice and Baroque sound; Tempo and spirit; Dynamics; Pitch, tuning and temperament; The basso continuo; Articulation; Rhythm and notation; Ornamentation; Appendices; Index.
