February 2022 Workshop Registration
Our February 2022 online workshop, takes place on February 20 from 3:00-4:30PM and is called “Intro to Renaissance Notation,” with John Mark Rozendaal as the instructor.
Playing 16th-century counterpoint from facsimiles of primary sources can be fun, gives us access to mountains of unedited repertoire, and most importantly, brings us into the working process of Renaissance musicians. In this class all players practice each of the parts of the simplest part music, including both famous and little-known madrigals, lieder, and chansons, reading from facsimiles of some of the earliest music printed from moveable type (octave shifting allowed). Then we play along with “screen share” renditions of the complete compositions. In addition to playing beautiful repertoire, we practice maintaining tactus, playing without barlines, adding ficta, and playing in unfamiliar clefs.
Open to all! Players and auditors of all levels welcome. Class will be recorded and made available to registrants for one month.
