Abstract
Choral music and those who make and listen to it have had, to say the least, a rough ride over the past year and a half. Successive lockdowns have deprived audiences and congregations of the unique and uplifting experience of hearing live voices in consort, amateur choirs and choral societies have been unable to provide their usual opportunities for fellowship and recreation, while professional singers and their families have lost their incomes. Children have suffered particularly; for a cathedral chorister to have unceremoniously missed out on what might have been their final year of service is a great pity. More than that, a pernicious mistrust in the very act of singing has taken hold, originating largely in misconceptions engendered by media reports during the first wave of COVID-19 infections in early 2020.11
期刊介绍：
Early Music is a stimulating and richly illustrated journal, and is unrivalled in its field. Founded in 1973, it remains the journal for anyone interested in early music and how it is being interpreted today. Contributions from scholars and performers on international standing explore every aspect of earlier musical repertoires, present vital new evidence for our understanding of the music of the past, and tackle controversial issues of performance practice. Each beautifully-presented issue contains a wide range of thought-provoking articles on performance practice. New discoveries of musical sources, instruments and documentation are regularly featured, and innovatory approaches to research and performance are explored, often in collections of themed articles.
