Baroque Northwest's Mini-Series: Closing the Gap
In these cross-genre concerts we will demonstrate the ways that
early music relates to particular folk traditions from Europe to
the New World. Before the year 1800, classical and traditional
music were much more closely associated, with blurry boundaries,
and Baroque Northwest
is hoping to close the gap
that exists today.
We can show how different musical vocabularies actually share much in
common and demonstrate ideas about how musics inform one another and
cross over cultural boundaries. Today Early Music players need to
create 50% of the music (50% is the written notes), making each piece
their own, and each time a piece is played it could have an entirely
different interpretation. Traditional music players have always
made each piece their own, improvising within the vocabulary of
their style and composing their own music.
