| Spectra Musica |
Spectra Musica was formed in 1980 as an ensemble dedicated to the
performance of early European music. They produce an average of three main
programs a year of music from about 1400 to 1800 AD. The ensemble has
grown to nine players and specializes in music for winds. Late Medieval and
Renaissance music is performed with cornetti, kortholts, sackbuts, recorders,
flute, rackett, dulcian, and viola da gamba, with a small Italian harpsichord as
continuo. They perform extensively throughout the Philadelphia area, New
Jersey, and Delaware.
Sub-groups of two to four players are available to provide music for festive
occasions. The musicians wear costumes, if requested, and play Renaissance
music on authentic instruments of the period. Spectra Musica also provides
lecture recitals and instrument demonstrations for those interested in learning
about early musical instruments and the music written for them.
