Aspects of Baroque Music Theory
This is a collection of essays based on lectures presented at the International Orpheus Academy for Music and Theory on "Historical Theory, Performance, and Meaning in Baroque Music".
The often complex connections and intersections between, e.g., modal and tonal idioms, contrapuntal and harmonic organisation, were considered from various perspectives as to the transition (towards tonality) from the Renaissance to the Baroque era.
Collected Writings of the Orpheus Institute
This series series started in 1999 and was the Orpheus Instituut's first publication series. The twelve publications contain musical testimonies and music-theoretical reflections with a strong emphasis on musical practice.
