- Summary
-
Aims to promote the study of music as performance through a specific focus on recordings. Its activities include a major discographic project, seminars and research projects.
Traditionally, music has been studied as a text reproduced in performance - almost as if it were an obscure kind of literature. By placing performance at the centre of musicology - by promoting a musicology based on recordings and not just scores - CHARM aims to reduce the gulf between musicology and the listener. CHARM addresses three fundamental problems:
- the difficulty of accessing early recordings
- the dispersal of knowledge about recordings
- the need to develop analytical approaches to recordings
