Summary: Andrew Parrott of the Taverner Consort and Players talks about the complex process of reconstructions with Catherine Bott, including his most recent project, the reconstruction of JS Bach's Trauer-Music (Funeral Music). This work was composed in 1728 for Bach's patron, Prince Leopold of Cöthen who died suddenly at the age of 33, but the score has almost completely disappeared. Andrew talks to Catherine about how he reconstructed the piece from the various clues found in other of Bach's works.
