SUMMARY:The Victoria Line - Choral Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Take a ride on the Victoria Line as we enjoy an afternoon of motets by Tomás Luis de Victoria\, the leading Spanish composer of the late Renaissance and a central figure in sacred music of the Counter-Reformation.  Educated in Rome and closely associated with the Jesuit order\, his music is known for its clarity of texture and direct engagement with text.  Victoria spent much of his professional life in Rome\, where he was part of an international circle of composers and clerics at the heart of Catholic musical reform.  Unlike many of his contemporaries\, he devoted himself almost exclusively to sacred composition.  The workshop will focus on ensemble blend\, tuning\, and clarity of line\, with attention to text underlay and imitation in Victoria’s exquisite motets.  Directed by Scott Inglis-Kidger.

SUMMARY:Deep Dive Online Recorder Workshop Series: Interpretation for Beginners Part 4
DESCRIPTION:How often do we play early music based on songs without the text present? This is very common for ensembles especially when playing 16th century music.  Most of the music from this period arranged for recorders is vocal music but without the text present how do we know if it is true to the original song? \nParticipants will be guided through the transformative process of ‘recreating’ instrumental versions of vocal music through reference to text and the expressive capabilities of varied articulation when playing the recorder and how this enables us to play ‘as if singing’.

SUMMARY:Baroque and Renaissance Instrument Discovery Day
DESCRIPTION:Explore\, Hear and Play!  No musical experience is necessary. \nIn celebration of a recent bequest of Baroque and Renaissance instruments St Mary’s Music School is opening its doors to anyone who would like to learn about\, hear\, try to play\, or share expertise in\, early wind\, brass and stringed instruments (viols and vielle).  The afternoon is run in partnership with Dunedin Consort and is led by their specialist musicians Amelia Shakespeare and Lucia Capellaro.  There will be a series of presentations\, demonstrations\, and opportunities to have a go on the instruments.  There will also be a parallel path for those who already play\, to bring their instruments\, and meet and play with others\, including coaching sessions from Lucia and Amelia.
