Just Intonation and the Revitalization of Neoclassicism: Three Works for Baroque Instruments

Figg, Graham Elliot 05 1900 (has links)
For a composer of today, the relationship between new music and music from many centuries past remains problematic.

By effectively warping music of the past through the lens of altered tuning and contemporary composition techniques, music of the past may be understood in previously unknown ways. Part I, the critical essay, presents historical background and analysis of a cycle of three works in altered/just tuning. Part II presents scores of the works.
