‘Harpsichord Reimagined – Resonances in Contemporary Music
Edited by Jane Chapman and John Palmer
1st Edition, 2025, ISBN: 978-1-0687122-1-0
Far beyond its traditional perception, the harpsichord now contributes to contemporary music through electroacoustic experimentation, multimedia performance, and other avant-garde practices. The contributors to this book bring a diverse range of backgrounds and approaches, offering a wealth of perspectives that together create a vibrant dialogue. This exchange fosters the harpsichord’s continuing evolution across different eras. Rather than attempting an exhaustive survey of composers and harpsichordists, the book highlights the artistic and thematic pathways shaping this project, offering an insightful exploration of the harpsichord’s evolving presence in contemporary music.
