An American University consort

EDITH BORROFE

Edith Borroff's career shows a range of enthusiasms which many a renaissance artist would have admired. Active first as a pianist and composer, and later as a musicologist, Dr Borroff describes her strongest motivation as 'a commitment to performance as the single most illuminating path to the understanding of music', a commitment she has vested in a number of university collegia musica. Her search for the true spirit of early music was inaugurated at Milwaukee–Downer College in 1954 with a performance of Machaut and Dufay and reached a jubilee at SUNY, Binghamton, USA, in 1979 with a programme of British music from the 15 th to the 17th centuries. Here Dr Borroff sets out the general guidelines she has developed in 25 years' vocal training of renaissance consorts. A discussion of some basic concepts leads into the practical resume.
