英语翻译
请高手认真掂量下这个句子,勿用软件自动翻译,句子如下：
As resistance stiffened to the expansion of the repertory by the addition of any substantial body of new works,information about an older body of music(and the music itself) became increasingly available.
这个句子的上文我翻译的是：在19世纪和20世纪期间,许多学者埋首于图书馆和档案室里搜寻过去几个世纪的音乐作品,这些作品已经完全不在演出剧目范围内而被人们所淡忘.学者们重新对这些作品进行描述、分析,并用现代记谱法出版印刷,以满足当今音乐家的需要.他们深入表演实践,并设法复制古代演奏这些作品的古老乐器.这个句子的下文是：This older music proved to be acceptable to commercial audiences and most performers.Music of increasingly remote times gradually became part of 20th-century musical culture.
