Abstract:

Talsma.JPG

The industrial human – surrounded by dead mechanical motions – does not understand music from the pre-industrial age anymore. More precisely, this means that in today’s life we do not possess the understanding of classic natural beat and tempo. ... Nowadays, metre is mostly imposed upon us and not one’s own choice, and tempo is an occasion to show off technical-mechanical skills. For the pre-industrial human, the word beat or metre had a completely different meaning: it stood for a quasi natural order of things that one readily submitted to. The motion of a tree, the waves of the ocean, the change of seasons: All these ordered movements and rhythms are the key to really understanding early music.
