The Resounding Project researches and reconstructs early musical instruments and uses them to recreate authentic early music. The work uses the period instruments of the 11th-13th Centuries to perform fifteen songs from that time. Scores in this book are illustrated with sketches of these unique instruments. The songs sample five regions of Medieval Europe and include pieces by Alfonso X, Aquinas, Codax, Machaut, and others.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese tunes were chosen as examples of medieval music in general. Although we do not know every detail about the music of this period, the songs represent an aggregation of the most reliable sources available. Accompaniments and chord symbols have been created for most tunes, with consideration of the likely instrumentation and styles of the time. The songs are well-suited for solos or ensembles in a variety of instrumentations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Daniel McWilliams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Rose Rock Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/04\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 30\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.21lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.02h x 8.50w x 0.06d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780692627020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eMcWilliams, John Daniel:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e - Dr. John McWilliams is Professor of Natural Science at Oklahoma Baptist University. His combined passions for science and early music has led him to initiate The Resounding Project. I've long been fascinated with unusual musical instruments (I blame Dr. Seuss). Classic works of arts seemed to offer many more shapes and variations than contemporary instruments. As I began playing more of the oldies-really old-I realized that my modern instruments didn't quite work mechanically for certain tunes. It made me wonder whether these early constructions might be significantly different in sound as well as sight. After building some of the instruments depicted in early art, my suspicions were confirmed. My new 'old' instruments had an entirely different flavor compared with the modern ones. Resonance, timbre, pitch variations. Different. Did our ancestors hear songs in a way we couldn't? I've spent the past few decades exploring that question.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThis title is not returnable\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rose Rock Media","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":40099177857139,"sku":"9.78E+12","price":11.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/products\/img_da996535-c56f-4d13-9a50-3c49c77f1a02.jpg?v=1653056486","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/music-of-the-high-medieval-era-9780692627020","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
