DESCRIPTION:UCR Department of Music\nWednesday@Noon Lecture  \n\nSamuel N. 
 Dorf\, musicologist and dance historian\nEXTREME!!! Early Music: Performing
  Antiquity Today\nLiz Przybylski\, coordinator\n\n“Extreme early music\,” a
  term adopted by some performers\, describes the reconstruction\, creation 
 and/or performance of music from before the emergence of the first music no
 tations in Western Europe (ca. 800 CE). This project argues that the method
 s and models of these practitioners are not only useful for the reimagining
  and performance of ancient music\, but invite us to re-approach our unders
 tanding of historical informed performance (HIP)\, concepts of authenticity
 \, and early music more generally. Combining methods and approaches from cl
 assics\, philology\, musicology\, ethnomusicology\, experimental history an
 d living history projects these musicians and researchers have approached t
 he problems of musical reconstruction and musical authenticity anew. Unders
 tanding their work\, their process and the philosophies and politics behind
  this work will have paradigm-shifting implications for musicology and musi
 cians involved in the HIP movement. The talk will discuss the larger projec
 t and explore a specific example of extreme early music: the composition of
  new “ancient Mesopotamian” music using 4500-year-old harps and the 4000-ye
 ar-old text of the Epic of Gilgamesh.\n\nApril 17\, 2019\nWednesday\, 12:10
  – 1:00 P.M.\nMusic Rehearsal Hall\, ARTS 157\n\nSamuel N. Dorf is an Assoc
 iate Professor at the University of Dayton. His book\, Performing Antiquity
 : Ancient Greek Music and Dance from Paris to Delphi\, 1870-1930 (Oxford Un
 iversity Press\, 2018) examines collaborations between French and American 
 scholars of Greek antiquity and the performing artists who brought their re
 search to life at the birth of Modernism. Drawing from methods and theory f
 rom musicology\, dance studies\, performance studies\, queer studies\, arch
 aeology\, classics and art history the book shows how new scholarly methods
  and technologies altered the performance\, and\, ultimately\, the receptio
 n of music and dance of the past. His new project blends ethnomusicological
  with historical musicological methods to examine the performance\, recepti
 on\, pedagogy\, and politics of music from western antiquity today.\n \nFre
