Life is short, but typing three words is not that long either. Julian Mincham wrote July 28, Thomas Beecham described it in a BBC interview as sounding like "two skeletons copulating on a tin roof". Vaughn Williams, took a similar view also in an extant interview and used the piano in his s recording of SMP. The idea of having the choir sing some of the arias goes back at least to Schweitzer possibly further?

But on several occasions he recommends this; a notable example being the great trio, penultimate movement in BWV 38 due to come up for discussion in a couple of months tim. Whether this view was because of the lack of good singers able to sing these parts doubful or allied to the C19th traditions of increasing forces and making everything bigger or louder, I don't know.

On another point I fully support Neil Mason's earlier posting about the use of authentic instruments. When performed by amatuers and school children, it is but a pipe dream. I remember arranging some movements of the Art of Fugue for a secondary school band some years ago after some initial tentativeness they loved playing them. Not an "authentic" instrument in sight. But either they have the opportunity to experience the music through their own peformancesor they don't. Regarding amateur choirs I recall reading as a student the view may have been Tovey--I can't remember--perhaps someone knows the reference that you could always get an amateur choir to learn Bach choruses from memory because of the logic and melodic nature of his linesbut you had little hope of achieving this with Beethoven's Missa Solemnis.

It wasn't a value judgement but a comment on the different natures of these composers' contrapuntal writing. Chris Kern wrote July 28, I was just curious. We really could use a standard term to distinguish other performances from HIP. I don't think M-B will do it. Bradley Lehman wrote July 28, For example, Ludwig Guttler's set of Brandenburgs uses modern instruments but lots of elements from recent research into style.

Is "HIP" a primarily hardware distinction or a musical approach?

Reward Yourself

If hardware, where does a cappella music get judged "HIP" or not? And really, why must we care what made-up category anything falls into? John Pike wrote July 28, I have rejoined this and the Bach recordings list. I won't be as active as in the past, due to pressures of work, but I really did miss some aspects of the group, such as the thoughtful posting from Brad below, and generally trying to keep up to date. I look forward to reading your postings again. Best wishes to all. But it is human nature to categorize, and we are stuck not only with the category, but also with the not so hip acronym, HIP.

The BCW archives are full of it, and I expect future posts will continue to use it extensively. I continue to feel that a distinguishing word or phrase and associated acronym , such as traditional, is also useful, even if only for BCW discussions. I don't think anyone, certainly not me, has suggested that all performances categorized as HIP sound the same, or that HIP is a monolithic structure.

In fact, I have argued at every opportunity, that performances, whatever the category, should be heard and evaluated individually. I wrote a few weeks ago BWV So you will get nothing but support from me on that point! In fact I went out of my way to emphasize the importance of I in HIP, part of my motivation to write yesterday. Although I enjoy gently poking fun at acronyms, there was a somewhat serious underlying message: Douglas Cowling wrote July 28, Chris Kern wrote July 29, The intent in using "M-B" was not to be the opposite of HIP, but to describe a specific type of non-HIP performance; one characterized by massive choirs, cuts, rescorings, and the like.

Something like Rilling's cantatas are not HIP, but they generally attempt to stick close to the score while playing with modern instruments. You don't see Rilling using a piano, a member choir, multi-voice arias, etc.

I'm not necessarily saying there's anything wrong with non-HIP Ed Myskowski wrote July 29, I'm glad I asked. I thought the discussion was productive, as well. But I'm so laid back, I think all discussion is productive. Especially if the alternative is violence. Tom Hens wrote July 29, For god's sake, by the end of the timeframe you name Harnoncourt and Leonhardt hadn't just been performing but producing recordings for well over a decade. And they weren't pioneers in a previously-unexplored field. Going back a bit further, why would, say, Beecham's silly opinion about harpsichords have been "the norm" c.

Who established this "norm"? How did Schweitzer become any kind of "authority" in the first place? His name is still mentioned quite often in discussions about Bach.

He was an amateur musician who wrote a popularising book about Bach, and he played the organ. Sorry, I realise my two messages today sound a bit angry, and I apologise for any offense. Blame the heatwave for the way I've worded them, which is making me cranky.

But after rereading, I stand by the content. Douglas Cowling wrote July 29, They were important popularizers of Bach among English audiences who much prefered Handel.

I had trouble understanding how they fell in love with each other so quickly. It wasn't awful but it wouldn't be a reread for me. I didn't have high expectations for this book, as it struck me as having the possibility of being too "technical" for my tastes. But, I was in dire need of something new to read, so I gave it a try. The author developed the characters as well as the story very well.

There were no lulls or dry areas and it flowed wonderfully. I look forward to reading more from this author. I almost wish there were more peripheral characters to create this into a series. The story started off well, but things went downhill about a third the way in. The plot was traditional - gorgeous female doctor, gorgeous male doctor who has lost wife, can't love again etc etc.

Certain aspects of the plot were okay, the medical aspects were interesting for me retired medical transcriptionist but the nasty nurse traditional again and the whimpering female main character were annoying. The male lead is a twit and really needed a kick up the cobblers. Well written, the plot could have been tweaked for some originality. Get to Know Us.
