In a branch of music where research plays such a central role, how can there be such a disconnection between research and performance? How can we create cooperation between both fields? These themes, according to Rebekah Ahrendt, are central in "EarlyMuse", a research action funded by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST). Listen to her describe her ideal world in this final episode of the 4th season of the Early Music Podcast!

Whatâs the scope of early music? This unanswerable question impacts our practices and our approaches to the sector. Since reaching a common definition seems idealistic, why not embrace the different meanings given to these words, and what they imply for their supporters and their activities? In this second episode, Romina Lischka shares her specific vision of early music, influenced by an intercultural approach and a desire to pass on and broaden horizons by mixing oral and written traditions, early and contemporary music.

Does music get suddenly better when itâs linked to the Borgia family, or are we ok with anonymously composed pieces?
In this final episode of the season, musicologist Laurie Stras introduces us to an enigmatic composer: Suor Maria Celeste (1600-1634), illegitimate daughter of the Italian scientist Galileo, and a Florentine nun of the early 17th century. She was the illegitimate daughter of the Italian scientist Galileo and a Florentine nun in the early 17th century. She wrote some magnificent polyphonic compositions, found by the researcher in the Biffoli-Sostegni Manuscript and performed by her all-female ensemble, Musica Secreta: discover the story of this crazy adventure in the search for these lost scores!

Probably a XIXth century woman couldnât contribute significantly as an artist, composer or concert organizer, right?
And if we apply the critical eye of early music to more recent times, what do we get? Here we take a step aside to discover the work of Clara Wieck-Schumann (1819-1896), a genius pianist and talented composer, overshadowed by a composer husband at a time when married women were kept out of the public sphere. Natasha Loges, professor of musicology, tells us about her career as a pianist after her husband's death and how concerts were scheduled in the 19th century, at the height of the Romantic period.

How could we possibly top the perfection that is a masterpiece like Purcellâs Dido & Aeneas?
In this seventh episode, composer Errollyn Wallen presents her opera Dido's Ghost, a sequel to Henry Purcell's (1659-1695) semi-opera Dido and Ăneas. At a time when the Baroque and the performing arts were flourishing in England, Purcell's work offered his contemporaries a delightful spectacle that continues to inspire artists and musicians today. Prepare to be immersed in the world of this incredible baroque opera and the tumultuous story of these two lovers, taken straight from Virgil's Aeneid.

What is so fascinating about some medieval nunâs songs?
Better known for her important work as a naturalist and physician, Abbess Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179) also composed more than one hundred and fifty liturgical songs and melodies, which were rediscovered in the late 1970s by the ensemble Sequentia and its two directors, Barbara Thornton and Benjamin Bagby. In this sixth episode, Bagby tells us about the rediscovery of early music in the second half of the twentieth century, a movement to which he and his ensemble contributed greatly.

Donât you sometimes wish you could just ask Beethoven what he meant in that peculiar passage?
This fifth episode is devoted to one of the most famous composers in classical music: Ludwig van Beethoven (1770-1827), presented by Olga Pashchenko. While this one is not obviously early music, it does allow us to look back at the history of the piano, the instrument of choice of the great composer. Do not hesitate to consult the resources below to discover more about the mechanism of the piano and its ancestors.

Why do you care so much about what sort of keyboard Johan Sebastian Bach used to play on?
This fourth episode is devoted to the fifteenth-century Flemish composer Guillaume Dufay, but also to a work of art that is as mythical as it is mystical, The Adoration of the Mystic Lamb (1432, Saint Bavo Cathedral, Ghent) by the Van Eyck brothers. Catalina Vicens takes us on a journey of discovery of this timeless work and, more generally, the textual or figurative sources that point researchers and musicians to the way music was played before the eighteenth century and what the musical instruments used looked like.

What happens when a piece by Monteverdi finds its way to its original concert hall?
In the third episode of season 3 of the Early Music Podcast, Tim Carter introduces us to Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643), an Italian composer and contemporary of Girolamo Frescobaldi, who is considered one of the creators of opera and, with Orfeo, the author of the first masterpiece of the genre. From Florence to Venice, passing through Mantua, this third episode evokes the privileged link between architecture and music and evokes the scenic dimension of the works of Monteverdi and his contemporaries.

Why canât you just read the score that you want to perform?
Dedicated to the Italian genius composer Girolamo Frescobaldi (1583-1643), this episode is an introduction to early music performance and textual sources. Francesco Corti, harpsichordist and conductor, explains the principles of musical improvisation and, above all, how composers told their contemporaries how to play their music. We will then go on to discover the cultural and musical revolution that was the 'Seconda Prattica', a revival to which Frescobaldi contributed greatly.

What is so special about Early Music that it makes people so passionate about it?
What is it like to ârediscoverâ today a composer from 1000 years ago? What do you learn about a piece when you search for the ultimate grail of the original concert hall it was first performed in? How can you try to rebuild a long gone Renaissance instrument and not lose your sanity? And, more than everything, what is so fascinating about it that you would want, today, in 2023, to dedicate your life to it? Letâs investigate, in 9 episodes, listening to the 9 speakers we picked for their reputation of being quite particular about one specific character of Early Music.
