Musica Antigua

Música antigua, or early music, encompasses the vast tapestry of Western classical music composed during the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods, roughly extending from the 9th to the 18th centuries. This genre is characterized by its use of period-appropriate instruments such as the viola da gamba, lute, harpsichord, and precursors to modern orchestral instruments, aiming to recreate the soundscapes authentically as they were originally performed. Ensembles and soloists specializing in música antigua, like Schola Antiqua and Jordi Savall, often engage in scholarly research to inform their interpretations, play from historical scores, or improvisations based on the practices of the time. The resulting performances offer a window into the past, illuminating the rich cultural and aural heritage preserved in ancient manuscripts and compositions.
