CONCERT HALLS AND OPERA HOUSES: Music, Acountics, and Architecture
Indisputably, the acoustics of halls for music are more diversethan those of violins. as this book will explain in depth, halls for music encompass a broader range of different types with very different acoustics ,and one should always remember that composers often wrote music for a particular concert hall or opera house,consequently, a given composition usually sounds best when performed in its intended acoustics. for instance, gregorian chants were written for performance in large churches with high reverberance; a small, quite church never comes close to doing it justice. as chapter 1 discusses, composition of different musical periods baroque, classical, or romantic, for example- sound best in halls whose reverberation times vary from medium low to relatively high. can one hall serve all purposes? halls with variable acoustics are among those treated here.
