SUMMARY:Workshop for voices and Renaissance instruments directed by Gawain Glenton

SUMMARY:Palestrina workshop for voices directed by David Allinson (Challock)
DESCRIPTION:Directed by David Allinson\n\n\n\nDavid Allinson writes: This year the early music world has been celebrating the 500th anniversary of Palestrina’s birth. An astonishingly productive composer\, he wrote over a hundred settings of the Mass Ordinary (Kyrie\, Gloria\, etc.)\, many of which remain unheard and unrecorded today. \n\n\n\nFor this workshop\, we will explore Palestrina’s supreme mastery in the so-called ‘parody’ Mass genre. In this type of setting\, the composer bases their Mass on a pre-existing polyphonic model — generally a motet or chanson – expanding and rhapsodising on the source material in each ‘movement’.This should be a harmonious\, varied and enjoyable day of singing that sheds light on some of Palestrina’s loveliest Mass settings.  \n\n\n\nWhile final repertoire choices depend on the forces signing up\, it is hoped to include a movement from some or all of these Masses: O sacrum convivium\, Sicut lilium\, O magnum mysterium and Je suis deshéritée – along with the polyphonic source motet or chanson. Divided voice parts are frequently required (especially tenors) so strong singers are encouraged to sign up early so that the desired Masses can be included. \n\n\n\nMore basses needed! \n\n\n\nAltos will be put on a waiting list (unless accompaied by at least one bass). \n\n\n\nOnline  booking form (preferred) \n\n\n\nFurther details and postal booking form.

SUMMARY:Gibbons Verse Anthems for voices and instruments
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Bill Hunt\n\n\n\nBill writes: In 2023 I had the pleasure of leading a workshop featuring verse anthems by William Byrd\, the father of this musical form. This year we shall feature anthems by Orlando Gibbons to celebrate his quatercentenary (died 1625)\, in whose hands it arguably reached its finest expression. \n\n\n\nThe vocal scoring of sacred music from this period is not easy to replicate with modern voices – it is very clear that the voice ranges for which it was typically written are significantly different from the normal SATB ranges that we know today. To give you an idea\, ‘Cantus’ or ‘mean’ usually denotes what we would now call ‘mezzo’: ‘Contratenor’ means a high tenor range (not a falsetto ‘countertenor’) and is sometimes best achieved by combining a normal tenor with an alto in a kind of pantomime horse arrangement. ‘Tenor’ was the name given to what we would recognise as baritone; and Bassus means a ‘real’\, i.e. low bass voice. \n\n\n\nInstruments: Viols of all sizes and soft wind (recorders\, flutes) with a supporting role for well-behaved curtals in the chorus sections. Organ and lute are also welcome to join. \n\n\n\nPlaces for Sopranos and for Recorder players are now full. Applicants will be put on a waiting list for possible vacancies. \n\n\n\n\nOnline booking form (preferred) \n\n\n\nFurther details and postal booking form (PDF)

SUMMARY:Workshop for voices and instruments directed by Alison Kinder
DESCRIPTION:Clapham and Patching Village Hall201 Long FurlongWorthing\, BN13 3UT \n\n\n\nReusing 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.  This workshop will look at three examples\, in each case a kind of ‘upcycling’ from a short initial motet or chanson into an entire mass. \n\n\n\nWe will begin with the beautiful 4-part chanson by Josquin\, Mille Regretz – this was later recycled by Cristobal de Morales as the basis for a 6-voice mass setting (we will look at the Kyrie and the Gloria). Our second example is Ego Flos Campi\, a lovely 7-part motet by Clemens non Papa\, who spent most of his life in Flanders. His friend Jacobus Vaet\, who wrote an elegy on Clemens’ death\, borrowed this motet as the basis for a 6-part mass\, with an 8-part Agnus. We’ll look at the original\, and then the transformation into Vaet’s Agnus Dei. Our third example is of a composer reworking his own material: Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina’s 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 plus a movement from one of the masses. \n\n\n\nBooking for this event has now officially closed. However\, if you’re a tenor or bass singer we might still be able to squeeze you in – so if would like to come\, please click on the link to the online booking form (see below) and follow the instructions.  \n\n\n\nThere are now waiting lists for instruments and for all other voices. \n\n\n\nOn-line booking form (preferred) \n\n\n\nFurther details and paper booking form (PDF file)

SUMMARY:Byrd and his contemporaries
DESCRIPTION:Directed by John Bryan\n\n\n\nScaynes Hill Village Centre\n\n\n\nSaturday 18 February 2023 @ 10:30 am – 5:00 pm\n\n\n\nWilliam Byrd died 400 years ago\, in 1623\, an octogenarian whose long life witnessed much change\, in the monarchy\, the church\, and in English society. A Gentleman of the Chapel Royal\, he served Queen Elizabeth and James I loyally\, but his sympathies lay with the Catholic recusants who continued to worship in secret in the pre-Reformation manner. As a musician he contributed masterpieces to virtually all the styles of his day: music for English services; mass ordinaries and Latin motets for his Catholic friends; songs for plays and for the home\, ranging from devout psalm settings to pastoral topics; instrumental consort music; and keyboard music. \n\n\n\nThis workshop will explore pieces from several of these genres: we will concentrate on parts of the Mass for Four Voices\, Latin motets and more ‘ceremonial’ Anglican Elizabethan music. We will also explore some of Byrd’s secular songs and the instrumentalists will also have the opportunity to give the singers a breather by working on one or two dance pieces. \n\n\n\nWe will adopt a practice that we know Byrd used on at least one occasion in 1580\, when he performed music for a recusant mass ‘with instruments’: appropriate instruments (viols\, violins\, recorders\, cornetts\, sackbuts\, well-behaved dulcians) are invited to join with the singers\, and there will be scope for lute or harp to supply continuo if players are happy to work from bass parts and/or scores. We will also put Byrd’s music into its historical framework by investigating pieces by his predecessors in Tudor England such as Philip Van Wilder and Thomas Tallis. \n\n\n\nPlease note: Altos now full. Room for two more tenors. \n\n\n\nOnline booking form\n\n\n\nFurther details and paper booking form
