Saturday morning quotes 4.35: Antiquarianism

Dicționar – [ANTIQUARISM] sees the larger part of tradition as an undesirable development, and romantically points to sometime in the distant past when an ideal state had been reached; it proposes to junk late accretions, and restore primitive practices. Characteristically, its ideal time is a time very early in history for which there is little concrete information; what data there are allow for great freedom in restoring the ancient practice. When the origin of a rite is known, the rite is to be reduced to its original form, or excised.

– William Mahrt, The Musical Shape of the Liturgy, p. 6
