Andrea was much more than just the uncle of Giovanni! Even in his large-scale works\, Andrea’s music has an intimacy and subtlety which reflect his great teacher\, Lassus. \nWe will explore some of Andrea’s twelve-part works\, including the psalm setting Benedicam Dominum and Magnificat and the masterly hymn to music Cantiam di Dio\, and (if the forces are suitable) his immense\, four-choir\, sixteen-part Gloria. \n\n \nPhilip Thorby is a regular and popular tutor and we are delighted to welcome him back again – he is well known as one of the country’s leading performers and teachers in the field of Renaissance and Baroque music. He founded and directed the ensemble “Musica Antiqua of London” which was at the forefront of research-based performance of renaissance music\, a passion he is now exploring further with professional and amateur musicians in many different contexts\, including courses held each year in Venice and elsewhere. \nHe is Emeritus Fellow in Early Music at Trinity Laban Conservatoire\, London. \nPhilip is particularly well known to MEMF members\, having delivered many inspiring workshops. His series of 4 lectures on Venice in the early 1500s present a fascinating view of the city – with the lives of composers Ganassi and Willaert intertwined with notable names of the day. These lectures were delivered during the pandemic and can be found on our website. https://memf.org.uk/home/philip-thorby-lectures/ \nTimetable for the day \n10.00              Registration and drinks \n10.30              Morning session (with a short comfort break) \n1.00                Short AGM followed by lunch (bring your own or use local pubs and cafes) \n2.00                Afternoon session \n3.30 approx   Tea break \n4.00                Final session \n5.00                Finish \nVenue   Solihull Methodist Church\, Blossomfield Road\, Solihull\, B91 1LG \nSolihull Methodist Church Hall is situated close to the centre of Solihull in the West Midlands.
