SUMMARY:Venice 3 - Bellezza e Bonta\, a talk by Philip Thorby
DESCRIPTION:This is the third of Philip’s talks about Venice in the 1500s. As we saw in the first lecture\, Ganassi is at the centre of the musical establishment in a republic which exported its music and its musicians to the rest of Europe. We are lucky that he wrote three books on technique and performance practice\, La Fontegara\, Regola Rubertina and Lettione Secunda. What do his three books tell us about how music was sung and played in Venice in the first half of the sixteenth century? Well\, quite a lot – and not all of it sits comfortably with how we see and hear renaissance music today. Philip will summarise the information from the books and put them into the context of other writers. Then\, feel free to join in the conversation! \nPlease book below.

SUMMARY:"Fly on the Wall" with Robert Hollingworth
DESCRIPTION:As I Fagiolini is rehearsing for their concert in the Polyphonic concert series\, Robert is unable to present a SingTheScore Extra today. \nHe writes: “On Saturday March 13th I Fagiolini will be rehearsing in York for our Polyphonic Concert Club event the next day (to be broadcast in a couple of weeks).  We’d like to invite you to drop in (free) online for 30 mins at 3pm.  It’s a lovely line-up of singers – welcoming back Matthew Brook for the first time since 2007 as well as Julia Doyle who was a feature in the late noughties.  We won’t stop to talk and take questions: I’ll simply open the laptop and you’ll eavesdrop!  I’ll set it for you to enter muted and with camera off (you won’t have to do this – it’ll have been set up to start like that) as that ought to increase the quality of the sound/pic. ” \nPlease book below and follow the instructions for the session.

SUMMARY:Venice 4 - Musica Nova\, a talk by Philip Thorby
DESCRIPTION:The last talk/discussion will focus on the “sacro e divino collegio”: Ganassi’s description of those meetings where Adriano (as the Venetians called Willaert) directed voices and viols in his new kind of music – sacred motets and settings of Petrarch\, music which became the most sought-after and costly musical real-estate in Europe. Philip will talk about the repertoire and the newness of this musical style and give a personal view of how a meeting of the secretive collegio might have worked. Afterwards your comments and questions will be welcome. \nThis final talk will again be recorded\, but in smaller sections\, with Philip in person talking and taking questions between each section. Each of the four sessions stands alone\, but taken together they will present a fascinating view of Venice in the early 1500s\, where the lives of Ganassi and Willaert intertwined with the aristocratic Pietro Bembo\, the great printer Aldo Manutio and the incomparable verse of Francesco Petrarca. \nPlease book below.

SUMMARY:Renaissance Recycling: an instrumental  workshop (singers welcome) with Alison Kinder
DESCRIPTION:Reusing old material is not a new concept – Renaissance composers did it all the time\, sometimes with their own material and sometimes with someone else’s. We’ll look at two such examples in this workshop\, in both cases a kind of ‘upcycling’ from a short initial motet or chanson into an entire mass. \nThe first is a composer reworking his own material: Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina’s beautiful 6-voice motet Tu Es Petrus is then gloriously expanded into a mass\, not once\, but twice! The first Missa Tu Es Petrus is also for 6 voices\, but then he gets a bit carried away and does a setting for 18 voices in three choirs\, still based on the same material. We’ll do the motet and a movement from the 6-voice mass\, and if we’re feeling very brave then maybe the Kyrie of the three choir version…! The second example is where one composer borrows a piece by someone else. At that time it was thought of as a compliment – today we’d call it plagiarism! The original piece is the beautiful 4-part chanson by Josquin\, Mille Regretz\, and the recycling is done by Cristobal de Morales\, who uses it as the basis for a 6-voice mass setting. \nAlison Kinder read Music at Oxford and then studied viol with Alison Crum at Trinity College of Music\, being awarded the college’s Silver Medal for Early Music Studies. Her love is of viols in all shapes and sizes\, from soundpost-less Renaissance instruments to 7-string baroque basses. Alison is an enthusiastic teacher both privately and on courses\, and she runs the Rondo Viol Academy with fellow teacher and player Jacqui Robertson-Wade. \nPlease book below:
