From Printed Page to Performance Christopher Hogwood, Emma Kirkby and Jakob Lindberg

When so much in music education is formulated on the principle of imitation, and the passing down of received traditions from teacher to pupil, it is important to readdress the significance of original and informed opinion in performance. Dame Emma Kirkby, who has done more than any other musician of our generation to reassess the vocal approach to earlier music will discuss with the Lecturer her approach to singing, teaching, recording and performing and the effect her performances have had on singing worldwide over the last forty years. The lecture is illustrated by live examples taken from Renaissance lute songs and other repertoire, including the following pieces: John Dowland Prelude Go Crystal Tears Shall I sue Shall I seek for grace Fantasia Tarquinio Merula Canzonetta Spirituale Sopra La Nanna Henry Purcell She loves and she confesses too The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available fro
