This project asks how listening to and performing music figured in understandings of home, family and domestic space in Georgian Britain. It seeks both to expand knowledge of the sounding history of Georgian domestic interiors and to explore how to integrate this understanding more fully into heritage interpretations of historic houses today. It considers the meanings that performers and listeners attributed to music in domestic settings, and explores how emotional or spiritual aspects of musical practice figured in the transformation of houses into homes. It will track the increasing delineation of domesticity from public life, and investigate how this intersects with historical narratives on the professionalisation of music, on class structures and on the formulation of family and gender roles. We will probe how music traversed geographical and social space, particularly through dance music, oratorio and opera, which linked familial leisure with forms of public entertainment. This enhanced understanding of domestic musical practice will be integrated into our exploration of new models for making domestic music visible and audible for heritage visitors today. Music was an important daily activity for many past residents of historic houses, and evoking this activity can help to people the properties in visitors' imaginations, while at the same time providing a powerful antidote to the static sense that historical settings convey for some audiences. Better knowledge of the role of music in domestic architecture, decoration and social life, and of musical links to artefacts and objects, can provide powerful new interpretive tools and highlight connections between tangible and intangible heritage. Through a series of practice-led interpretation experiments, this project will result in case studies for effective interpretation of music in historic houses, and it will contribute to further collaborative research on best practice in the field through partnership with heritage sector professionals. The project includes an ambitious plan of primary research, including consideration of family papers (diaries, correspondence, accounts, inventories); extant music collections identified with specific houses and owners; music produced for domestic consumption, including arrangements of dance, opera and oratorio; historic guidebooks and furniture catalogues; and extant material settings. The historical research will lead to scholarly outputs in musicology and dance history, while also providing the musical materials underpinning the heritage studies research. In collaboration with the British Library, the research team will conduct a census of musical materials in UK historic houses, substantially enhancing existing research tools while providing the first overview of the material traces of domestic music available for use in heritage interpretation today. With the support of project partner Sydney Living Museums, the project will synthesise existing research on the use of music in historic house interpretation, and devise frameworks for future work in the field. A case study on dance will generate new understandings of how this key social activity was deployed in the home, and result in new recordings of dance music for use by historic dance companies and within the heritage sector. With project partners The National Trust, we will construct a case study at Erddig, providing a detailed history of music making in the house and devising a method for telling the larger story of the property and its occupants through and with music. At Boughton House, a case study mounted in collaboration with the Buccleuch Living Heritage Trust will explore how domestic consumption of stage music worked to construct understandings of private and public space and social identities; an exhibit and performance will bring together objects and sounds from these different realms to create a new interpretation of their relationship.

这个项目询问如何听和表演音乐在格鲁吉亚英国的家庭，家庭和家庭空间的理解计算。它旨在扩大格鲁吉亚国内内饰的声音历史的知识，并探讨如何将这种理解更充分地融入到今天的历史建筑的遗产解释。它考虑了表演者和听众在家庭环境中赋予音乐的意义，并探讨了音乐实践的情感或精神方面如何在房屋改造中发挥作用。它将跟踪从公共生活中越来越多的描绘，并调查这是如何与音乐的专业化，阶级结构和家庭和性别角色的制定历史叙事交叉。我们将探讨音乐如何穿越地理和社会空间，特别是通过舞蹈音乐，清唱剧和歌剧，将家庭休闲与公共娱乐形式联系起来。这种对国内音乐实践的深入了解将融入我们探索新模式的过程中，使今天的遗产游客能够看到和听到国内音乐。音乐是许多历史建筑的过去居民的重要日常活动，唤起这种活动可以帮助人们了解游客想象中的属性，同时为一些观众提供了一种强有力的解毒剂，以消除历史背景所传达的静态感。更好地了解音乐在家庭建筑、装饰和社会生活中的作用，以及音乐与人工制品和物品的联系，可以提供强有力的新的解释工具，并突出物质和非物质遗产之间的联系。通过一系列以实践为导向的诠释实验，该项目将产生在历史建筑中有效诠释音乐的案例研究，并将通过与遗产部门专业人员的合作，促进该领域最佳实践的进一步合作研究。该项目包括一项雄心勃勃的初步研究计划，包括审议家庭文件（日记、信件、账户、清单）;与特定房屋和所有者有关的现存音乐收藏;为国内消费制作的音乐，包括舞蹈、歌剧和清唱剧的编排;历史指南和家具目录;以及现存的材料设置。历史研究将导致音乐学和舞蹈史的学术成果，同时也提供了支持遗产研究的音乐材料。该研究团队将与大英图书馆合作，对英国历史建筑中的音乐材料进行普查，大大增强现有的研究工具，同时首次概述当今可用于遗产解释的国内音乐材料痕迹。在项目合作伙伴悉尼生活博物馆的支持下，该项目将综合现有的关于在历史建筑诠释中使用音乐的研究，并为该领域的未来工作设计框架。对舞蹈的案例研究将产生对这一关键社会活动如何在家庭中部署的新理解，并产生新的舞蹈音乐录音，供历史悠久的舞蹈公司和遗产部门使用。与项目合作伙伴国家信托基金会，我们将在Erddig构建一个案例研究，提供一个详细的历史音乐制作的房子，并设计一种方法来讲述更大的故事的财产和它的居住者通过和与音乐。在Boughton House，与布克卢赫生活遗产信托基金合作进行的案例研究将探讨舞台音乐的国内消费如何构建对私人和公共空间以及社会身份的理解;展览和表演将汇集来自这些不同领域的物体和声音，以创造对它们之间关系的新解释。
