Exploring the evolution of music from the Medieval to the Baroque periods, this introduction highlights the beauty and complexity of works like Gregorian chant and Bach's compositions. Thomas Forrest Kelly delves into the historical efforts to revive this music over the past two centuries, addressing key debates surrounding authenticity, the use of period instruments, and the often-overlooked connection between mainstream orchestras and this rich musical heritage.
