“We left our home in the woods of upstate NY on September 6th, 2010 for a 7,000-mile concert tour – a road trip that took us to Oregon and back. Oddly enough, although we had taken a stack of CDs to listen to for inspiration and source material, we ended up listening to exactly one and one-half of them.  This blog is a series of thoughts and musings inspired by the conversations during the trip, about our approach to our music and the sometimes very satisfying, sometimes thought-provoking dilemma of presenting it to modern audiences.  We’re taking the time to do this because of our firm belief that music of the 16th century is not only relevant but essential in today’s world.

Our first post, a summary of the trip, will be followed by some of our sometimes surprising discoveries of what moves an audience, how ‘Early Music’ has evolved as a relevant medium for 21st-century audiences and why looking backwards prepares us for the future.  We hope you will enjoy it as much as we do.

all the best,
Ron & Donna

“This site was built primarily from the contribution of lutenists, in the course of the past ten years. It now seeks to reach a wider audience in the early music world. Most of the material, consequently is lute-related, but this should not discourage non-lutenists from adding their contributions, quite to the contrary. Contributions are welcome for any material, - scores, societies information, musicians' biographies, news, CD reviews, etc. - that relate to the Early Music world broadly understood.

It is my hope that this framework will not only prove adequate for your contributions, but grow with them, and keep on evolving in the directions that you set, to serve you best. At this time, the site is still very much under development and this is an ideal time for you to help gear it in the right direction! “

“This web site presents photos of, descriptions of, and information about historical European and American flutes from the renaissance to the 20th century. In addition, we give related historical material about performance practices and report on the author's experiences playing these instruments.

The old flutes have great charm and character. And they have much to teach us about the flute music written at the times when they were made.

Except where otherwise noted, all photographs of flutes are of instruments in the author's collection. A number of these flutes are modern copies of early instruments, but the majority are antique flutes made between c.1750 and c.1930. There are many personal opinions expressed in these pages, but they are based, it may be hoped, on knowledge and experience as well as taste, he said modestly. All original photographs and essays are © Copyright 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 by Richard M. Wilson. These photos and essays may be copied for personal use, or use in moderation on web pages, etc., as long as I am clearly acknowledged as the source. All but very minimal use of the photos or essays on the web should be accompanied by a link to these pages.  ..“

“In 1978, harpsichordist Elaine Comparone, National Endowment for the Arts grantee, Concert Artists Guild award winner, former Fulbright scholar and Affiliate Artist, founded Harpsichord Unlimited with Ronald S. Smith, librarian and music aficionado and Dorothy Wick, amateur harpsichordist and archivist. Their intent was to bring the harpsichord to a wide audience and to teach the public about the instrument, its history and its music.

The first project of Harpsichord Unlimited was a festival of chamber music at St. Joseph's Church in Greenwich Village. The series, known as the Winterfest Concerts, attracted large crowds and later extended its purview to St. Michael's Church on Manhattan's Upper West Side. These concerts ran for ten years, featuring Elaine Comparone, various guest artists and an in-house group, The Bach Family Strings. The programs included both little known and familiar early masterpieces along with contemporary works, all with harpsichord. …“

“The time is ripe for a revival of the early music revival. The pioneers of today’s flourishing early music movement – the people who put Baroque and earlier music back on the map – are fading into obscurity. A new blog, The Early Music Pioneers Archive (www.semibrevity.com), combines research with documents, video interviews, photographs and digitalized clips (from LPs, 78s and private recordings), to refocus attention on a host of musicians, scholars and instrument makers who deserve to be remembered. …”

“Welcome to the Internet site of the Lyrica Society for Word-Music Relations, an independent academic and artistic organization which investigates and promotes the myriad of interactions between text and music. Lyrica was founded by Dr. Louis Auld, Professor of French Literature at Central Connecticut State University in 1981. Since then, it has grown to include nearly 500 members in North America, Europe, Turkey and Japan. After serving as Editor of our peer-reviewed journal, Ars Lyrica, and as Secretary-Treasurer for seventeen years, Professor Auld retired from those posts, but remains active as an advisor to the Society's Executive Board. Lyrica welcomes literary, musicological and performance-practice research into word-music issues crossing all historical periods, and enveloping all musical and literary genres and cultural frameworks. Chronologically through the academic calendar, the Society is present at the annual conventions of the American Musicological Society, the Modern Language Association, the National Association of Teachers for Singing, and the National Opera Association (alternating biennially), the Renaissance Society of America, and the American Comparative Literature Association, where our seminar explores a special topic each year.

Our annual Lyrica Dialogues at Harvard are held each spring. ..“
