This is an "under construction" and for now a quite complete discography of David Munrow.
BIOGRAPHY
    (This biography is based closely on an excerpt of James Durant's text appearing on the back cover of the Angel edition of Munrow's Renaissance suite, with corrections from Gillian Munrow, and minor editing.)
    David Munrow's passion for early music and musical instruments commenced in 1960 when he was 18. Teaching in Peru under the British Council Overseas Voluntary Scheme, he became interested in South American folk music and took back to England with him Bolivian flutes, Peruvian pipes, and dozens of other obscure instruments. The following year he entered Cambridge as an English major. There a crumhorn hanging off a friend's wall aroused his interest and led him to delve deeply into an independent study of Renaissance and Medieval music.
    Munrow's previous musical training had consisted of tuition in piano and bassoon. He had also been a chorister at Birmingham Cathedral. Early instruments now absorbed him, and he commenced to collect them in great numbers. Instructors in the field being scarce, he mastered alone the techniques of playing his finds, by reading intensively in the field and by endless practice and experiment. After a year's research at Birmingham University, he spent the years 1965 to 1968 in consolidating his ideas and technique. During that time, he was asked by Guy Woolfendon to join the Royal Shakespeare Company in order to play "authentic" instruments for their productions. With his wife Gillian Reid, he also toured music clubs and schools to lecture on early music. Due to other time commitments, he soon left the Royal Shakespeare Company.
    In 1967 Munrow became a lecturer at Leicester University in early music history. The same year saw the London debut of his Early Music Consort of London. This excellent ensemble of virtuosos was basically a five-man group capable of touring, but with other singers and instrumentalists in association for concerts requiring larger forces.
    In 1968, the Consort made its first foreign tour, launching Munrow and the group upon their path to international acclaim. During their travels, Munrow ransacked foreign marketplaces for exotic instruments of old origins. He also commissioned careful reconstructions of otherwise unobtainable antiquities from such instrumental families as the cornett, rackett, kortholt and others.
    Worldwide recognition and popularity came to Munrow when he created the scores for the outstanding BBC TV series The Six Wives of Henry VIII and Elizabeth R, widely televised abroad. The soundtrack for the former became a bestselling album which won still greater audiences for the early music Munrow loved.
    Munrow extended his activities with the Consort to a heavy schedule of concerts, tours, and the making of numerous albums, encompassing the early music of many countries. His popular English radio series Pied Piper considered music of all eras. In the eight years of Munrow's all-too-brief career before his death in 1976, he also wrote a book Instruments of the Middle Ages and Renaissance (Oxford University Press. London: 1976) (EMI (His Master's Voice) SLS 988) and composed and arranged the scores for four feature films, including Ken Russell's The Devils, the EMI-MGM Henry VIII (HMV CSD A9001), John Boorman's Zardoz (CBS/FOX No. 1298), and the French documentary La Course en téte (EMI (His Master's Voice) HQS 1415 Renaissance suite), produced by Vincent Malle and directed by Joël Santoni.
For further reading, I suggest one interview that appeared in the Gramophone (May 1974, p. 2009 - David Munrow Talks to Alan Blyth) and "Obituaries" in July 1976 edition of the Gramophone (p. 154). The last one gives to the reader a general understanding of the personality of this "man of manic energy."
CONTENT
This discography is divided into three parts.
    Part I lists the original recordings (52 original LPs or video), re-edited material containing tracks not previously released or original material on CD not previously released. Each individual titles is linked to a descriptive section containing as much informations as possible about the original recording; this description is cross-linked to available CDs actually on the market (December 1999) in North America or Western Europe. Great care have been taken to prevent misinformations and a large part of the data originates from records themselves (although often not as reliable as it should be). If the recording was not available, the content originates from usual sources (periodicals such as The Gramophone (and the Catalogue), Diapason (and the Catalogue), Bielefelder Katalog, Notes, and Fanfare, etc.). Alas ! if all this failed, reference was made to the french book "Diapason - Guide de la musique ancienne et baroque" (Coll. Bouquins, Robert Laffond, 1993) [GMAB]; although impressive in term of quality and amount of content, readers should be careful about many recording dates listed. Also data has been re-checked using the Indiana University Library excellent database [IUCAT]. For those interested in discography of medieval and renaissance period, they should refer to the following three publications:
    1. Medieval and Renaissance Music on Long-Playing Records
      James Coover and Richard Colvig
      Detroit Studies in Music Bibliography # 6 (-end of 1961)
      Information service, Incorporated
      10, West Warren, Detroit 1, Michigan
    2. Medieval and Renaissance Music on Long-Playing Records
      James Coover and Richard Colvig
      Detroit Studies in Music Bibliography # (1962-1970 + corrections to # 6)
      Information service, Incorporated
      10, West Warren, Detroit 1, Michigan
    3. Early Music Discography - From Plainsong to the Sons of Bach
      Vol. 1: Record Index (covers 1970-1980)
      Oryx Press
    Also I should mention an excellent serie of publications edited by Garland: (name of the composer) A Guide to research. Very noteworthy is the one on Guillaume de Machaut by Lawrence Earp published in 1995. I am also aware of an edition on Josquin DesPrez and Obrecht/Ockheghem, Purcell, Byrd.
    I tried to list titles according to their label and release dates. In the linked section, I tried to follow the track order of recording; in some cases when the recording was not available, the order may need correction by a careful reader owning the disc. In Part I, my goal is to cover all original recordings, but this may well be wishful thinking without comments and corrections. These could be directed to my E-mail address (pfr@videotron.ca). Credit for any significant contribution will be given at the end of the discography.
    Part II deals mostly with reedition on CDs; I will try to be complete, but the goals is really to inform readers about available recordings on the market.
    Part III lists composers recorded by David Munrow; it will become eventually an index of works interpreted by David Munrow. This will be done when Part I and II is completed
This is a quite complete discography, except for part III. A certain amount of typographical corrections are needed and the content will be regularly up-dated.

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...
