SUMMARY:Salamone Rossi - an online workshop with Elam Rotem
DESCRIPTION:Elam will begin the session by telling us a little about himself and how he became interested in Early Music. He will then go on to a presentation on Salomone Rossi and the Jewish musical scene in Italy in the early 17th Century. We will sing together two pieces by Salomone Rossi\, one Italian Madrigal (Udite lacrimosi spirit d’averno) and one Psalm in Hebrew (Lamnatseach al haggittit / Psalm 8). After that Elam will share with us how Rossi’s unique endeavours inspired him to compose new compositions in the style of the early 17th century and we will hear some examples. \nDr Elam Rotem is a harpsichordist\, composer\, and singer. He is the founder and director of his choir Profeti della Quinta.  He specialized in historical performance practice at the Schola Cantorum in Basel and graduated with a master’s degree in continuo playing and another in improvisation and composition.  In 2014 he established the award-winning resources website Early Music Sources. In 2016\, he finished his PhD thesis with distinction “Early Basso Continuo Practice: Implicit Evidence in the Music of Emilio de’ Cavalieri“\, within a new collaborative program between the Schola Cantorum in Basel and the University of Würzburg\, Germany. \nPlease book below.

SUMMARY:Requiem for a King - a workshop for voices and instruments (A=415) with Jeffrey Skidmore
DESCRIPTION:Jeffrey Skidmore explores music by Michel-Richard de Lalande including two magnificent Grand Motets written for Louis XIV to be performed in the golden splendour of the Chapelle Royale in the palace of Versailles.  The workshop includes the powerfully moving Requiem from De Profundis\, which was performed at the Sun King’s funeral in 1715\, and the uplifting Hymn for Easter Day O filii et filae. He will take a look at primary source material\, discuss research and explore some important features of French Baroque style – ornamentation\, pronunciation and notes inégales. \nWe will sing these two pieces at A 415 – SATBB chorus\, backed by an orchestra of strings\, oboes\, bassoons\, flutes\, recorders\, organ and theorbo. (Instrumental parts will also be available) \nThe powerful music of Lalande is still the least well-known of the great Baroque composers.  With a major anniversary creeping up in 2026 NOW is the time to start putting things right.  His music is consistently incroyable! \nJeffrey Skidmore OBE has been Artistic Director of Ex Cathedra for over 50 years and has an international reputation for the quality and range of his work. Baroque music from Latin America has featured prominently in recent years and he has given many magical performances in beautiful venues around the world\, he has recorded four  CDs\, created many new editions and explored a whole new world of performance practice. \nPlease book below.
