In Pop music you usually hear the time period “cowl music,” that means one artist performing a music by one other artist and giving it their very own spin. This has been occurring for hundreds of years, besides that in Classical music, it is often referred to as an association or transcription. For instance, harpsichordist Christophe Rousset discovered the manuscript of a Madame Théobon that features keyboard preparations of airs and tunes from Lully operas. Magdalena Hoffmann proves Chopin waltzes and Discipline nocturnes sound as stunning on the harp as they do on the piano. Nearer to the thought of a canopy music, Jacqui Dankworth and the Brodsky Quartet (pictured above) give us songs by Elvis Costello and Sting in addition to some authentic ones.
