This unit explores historical-informed performance (HIP), from the Middle Ages up to the present day. It also reflects critically on the early music phenomenon in the twentieth century, both as an area of research and a commercial enterprise. Consideration will be given to the limitations of historical sources and indeed of authenticity as a philosophical construct. Through a series of lectures and workshops students will investigate significant historical sources, explore relevant HIP issues for their instrument, and develop historically informed performances. Issues explored include the use of historical instruments, editions, notations and their limitations, improvisation and ornamentation, rhythmic alterations and freedoms, tempi, dance characteristics, articulations and fingerings, vibrato, and other instrument specific concerns.
