January 2022 Workshop Registration
Our January 2022 online workshop, takes place on January 22 from 3:00-4:30PM and is called “Psalm to Table – Artisanal settings of vernacular psalms for the home market,” with Sarah Mead as the instructor.
When the Reformation swept through much of 16th-c Europe, it brought with it a demand for sacred music that set the local language in familiar musical styles. Church congregations could now join in singing psalms, but musical gourmets ate up the opportunity to make this music at home, too. The printing press brought tuneful new wares to market for discerning locavores to consume around their own tables.
Enjoy a tasting menu of English, French, Dutch and German music in four and more parts, from simple and nourishing settings to more subtly spiced confections, created for the discerning palate of the amateur music-maker.
Both viol-family and friends are welcome at the feast.
Parts and scores suitable for all levels and sizes of viols, voices, and recorders.
Pitch = A440 to encourage a diverse company.
For more information please consult the Workshop Flyer.
