It is a treasure trove for any orchestra musician who wants to come to terms with the history of that institution to which he has dedicated his professional life, or anyone who seeks an introduction to this subject, and an orientation toward further investigation of particular aspects of the topic.
Anyone interested in 17th and 18th-century music will get a lot out of it, and it will be required reading for everyone interested in that fascinating institution, the orchestra.
It should be said straight away that this book has been worth waiting for This volume is set to become a standard reference work. It is encyclopedic in its coverage and many of its recurring concerns are rich in interest It would be more than the work of two lifetimes to retrieve all the information the volume reproduces from European archives Their combined labors have resulted in the most comprehensive, accurate, and insightful account ever written of the orchestra's early history.
The Birth of the Orchestra: History of an Institution, by John Spitzer
The Birth of the Orchestra is an important book that belongs in every serious music library. It contains much that will be of interest to students of performance practice, church music, opera, the concerto, the symphony, and the social history of music.
Orchestral musicians as well will read it with excitement and pleasure, learning from it more about the early history of their venerable institution than they can from any other single source. Spitzer and Zaslaw serve up a rigorous, meticulously documented text that consolidates the rapidly growing body of international research on the early history of the orchestra. It belongs in every music library and I heartily recommend it. It is a treasure trove for any orchestra musician who wants to come to terms with the history of that institution to which he has dedicated his professional life, or anyone who seeks an introduction to this subject, and an orientation toward further investigation of particular aspects of the topic.
