*The Renaissance Recorder Weekend has been POSTPONED...stay tuned for new dates!
January 13-14 Renaissance Recorder Weekend
Allen Center for the Arts, West Newton MA
Renaissance Recorder Faculty: Annette Bauer, Heloise Degrugillier
This special 2-day workshop is for players of Renaissance recorders. Groups will work on ensemble music for three sessions each day, followed by a session on early notation. We’ll work on getting the best out of these instruments which are specifically built for ensemble playing. How are they voiced? What are the possibilities for fingerings to facilitate good tuning? How is the blowing different than on a Baroque recorder? We’ll play together with the goal of sounding like a beautiful Renaissance organ. This is polyphony at its best -- good blend and individuality of parts! For advanced players with Renaissance recorders by Prescott, LiVirghi, or Ohanessian.
