The Performance Practice of David Munrow and the Early Music Consort of London : Medieval Music in the 1960s and 1970s

  Student thesis : Doctoral Thesis › Doctor of Philosophy/Blogger Ref  http://www.youtube.Searle8 Edward George Breen Music This thesis focuses on the musical contribution of David Munrow and his Early Music Consort of London (EMC) to the so-called early music revival of the 1960s and 1970s. By exploring the notion of shared cultural space in performances of medieval music by leading ensembles of the time, this thesis seeks to isolate aspects of performance practice unique to the EMC. An assessment of literary sources documenting the early music revival reveals clear nodes of discussion around Munrow’s methods of presenting early music in concert performance which are frequently classified as ‘showmanship’ with a focus on more scholarly performance practice decisions only evident in the post-Munrow period. Close readings of these sources are undertaken which are, in turn, weighed against Munrow’s early biography to map out the web of influences contr...

Contemporaries of David Munrow Remember

Here, I thought it would be interesting to give out some of the testimonies of people who knew David Munrow well, and not so well. This collection will over a short period of time be expanded. But here comes the first testimony from Michael Laird who did alot of work for the Consort.... 1. Michael Laird.       I first met David Munrow in 1969. I was performing a  Bach B Minor Mass (Ithink) in Wolverhampton in 1969. A cheerful,energetic young man sitting  next to me on the bassoon introduced himself as David Munrow and asked immediately "do you play the cornetto?'' "What's that" I queried "Oh" David said "it's a wonderful instrument made of wood with holes and a trumpet type mouthpiece. You can buy one from Christopher Monk. I'll give you his number. They're not expensive. You'll be good at it. If you can learn it quite quickly I can offer you some recording sessions". So that was how we got to know each other...
