Ensemble: Mary Remnant, Petronela Dittmer, Matthew Hart Dyke Album: Strumenti Del Medioevo Per Audiofili - or - Music of The Age of Chivalry Video: A selection of musical instruments, related to the corresponding song, taken from various sources • A dear audiophile friend of mine made me discover this very interesting recording released for Audiophile Sound magazine in 2004. I did some research and I discovered that there is also a different edition of this publication entitled: Music of the age of Chivalry. Other than this detail and the cover, there is no other difference between the two publications. This work was edited and created by Mary Teresa Elizabeth Remnant, musician, scholar, musicologist and medievalist born in 1935 in England. From wikipedia I find that: his parents were a music teacher and an architect and art historian. While studying piano and violin at the Royal College of Music, she was awarded the Tagore Gold Medal. She went on to specialise in Early Music. A Graduate of the Royal Schools of Music and an Associate of the Royal College of Music in London, she completed her DPhil on Bowed instruments at St Anne's College, Oxford University. She taught piano and violin, and was for a time, demonstrator of historic early keyboard instruments in the RCM Museum. She was awarded a Winston Churchill Memorial Trust Fellowship in 1967, and was able to study in detail and bring back to life the early musical instruments portrayed in carvings and on the walls of churches along the Camino de Santiago in France, Spain and elsewhere in Europe. Remnant was elected a Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of London in 1989, having come to prominence as a world renowned scholar and enthusiast of early music and early musical instruments. She was an acknowledged expert in her field and is quoted in various subsequent works of reference. As a session musician, she participated in broadcasts from the early 1960s, for instance, playing the vielle and organetto with Pro Musica Sacra and Ian Partridge. Remnant featured in numerous recordings of David Munrow's Early Music Consort, variously playing organ, fiddle, tabor and drums. She also played fiddle, alto crumhorn and tambourin with John Stewart Beckett and Michael Morrow's ensemble, Musica Reservata in recitals of Guillaume de Machaut and the music of Spain, broadcast by the BBC during 1967–8. She played early music on reconstructed instruments, often made to order by the instrument maker, Alan Crumpler. She would describe and play a wide range of early instruments. She would demonstrate the sound of an instrument by playing a tune and illustrate it with pictures of the instrument from carvings, paintings, or engravings. In this work Mary Remnant with Petronela Dittmer and Matthew Hart Dyke explore the world of medieval musical instruments through a repertoire of great classics of early music, giving life to an album which, although created for the purpose of demonstrating musical instruments and their sound, is really pleasant to the listening thanks to its simplicity and minimal arrangements. I wish you happy listening!
