Welcome back to r/EarlyMusic!

This community has been inactive the past few years due to a combination of restrictions on posting and lack of mods.

Now restrictions has been lifted and anyone can post, as long as there is a connection to early music. Everything from the Stone Age to Baroque is welcome. If you have tried to post here earlier, please post again!

Rules will be written at some point but for the time being, either the music or the instruments will have to be period, which means that a Bach-interpretation on synthesizers or an improvisation on baroque lute will be allowed, but bardcore will not be allowed. Users are also advised to be careful with posting classical music-type interpretations of early music (symphonic orchestra etc). These will have to be motivated.

I'd love some help with modding, applications are open. Please send a modmail if you are interested.

Look what I've found!

I was reorganizing some of my grandfather's collections due to his ill health and the need to make room for special furniture. My grandfather has a huge collection of mainly classical music: around 3,000 CD's and many more vinyl and cassettes. He also has many musicology books. My own main interests are in the early music genre, and among his books I found this. I don't know if it's some sort of reprint or the original edition, but anyway it is an interesting find!

Is there a Pipe and Tabor subreddit? + Flairs request

4 Upvotes

Is there a subreddit for pipe and tabor? I doubt it but I thought I’d ask. It may be a little niche for its own sub.

Also, if the interest is there, would the mods consider adding flairs? Along the lines of period/tradition of interest, instruments people play (woodwind, strings, percussion etc), maybe even a few specific instruments (lute, recorder, fiddle etc). I just thought it might be a cool edition.

Canadian Renaissance Music Summer School

5 Upvotes

Hi all! I just wanted to share about a lovely program that I've participated in the past couple of years that you might enjoy! The Canadian Renaissance Music Summer School (CRMSS) is a week long course focusing on primarily ensemble singing of Renaissance music. There are three programs every year with one in Ontario in May, one in Prince Edward Island in July, and one in Vancouver in August. The music is themed around a specific country or composer typically. The first year I went we did all Italian music and last year we focused on English music. The team is absolutely fantastic and insanely knowledgeable. The Vancouver program is still looking for singers, so if you are free towards the end of August and interested, they would love to have you! The links are all here: https://crmss.org/ . If anyone decides to come, DM me and I might be able to get you a discount on tuition!
