Dr Ruth Holmes
The Harpsichord – A Fresh Voice from the Past
Dr. Ruth Holmes guides this educational journey through the history of the harpsichord from its earliest days to its revival in the 20th century. Discover how the early harpsichord developed, how it lost favor to the pianoforte, and how a new generation of musicians rediscovered its grace and charm in the 20th century.
This is a ‘must-experience’ program for musicians, teachers, students, and early music enthusiasts alike. Dr. Holmes’s use of historic musical examples makes the journey educational and entertaining for all.
For more than 35 years, Dr. Holmes has been a part of the music faculty of Lubbock Christian University.
