Digital Dance is a pioneer recording in four respects:
AUTHENTICITY OF THE VIRGINALS AND HARPSICHORD
Both of the historic quill-keyboards in Sydney's Powerhouse Museum are exceptional examples of their kind: an Italian Renaissance virginals (De Taegiis, Bologna 1629) and an English Baroque harpsichord (Kirckman, London 1763). When recorded in 1989 the instruments were newly-restored and played well for their age. They are voiced with plectra of natural quill. The virginals is the oldest musical instrument in Australia.
AUTHENTICITY OF THE DANCE RHYTHMS
The tempi and discipline of the dances reflect David Kinsela's work with the Early Dance Consort of Sydney, the pioneering ensemble led by Dr Fiona Garlick. The innovations include suppression of romantic habits of phrasing and particularly of cadential ritenuti.
USE OF HISTORIC PAIRED FINGERING
Paired fingering is applicable to all Renaissance music. It creates a distinctive energy and eloquence, encourages spontaneous shaping of the line, and stimulates a paired irregularity or inegale.
USE OF PERCUSSION IN KEYBOARD DANCE MUSIC
On five tracks, the virginals is accompanied by percussion such as would have happened when opportune. It is played by Professor Michael Atherton on authentic instruments including spoons, tabor, tambourine, bells, wood block and bodhran.
