Ludwig Senfl (ca. 1490 - 1543) was one of the most prolific and influential composers in the German-speaking world at the time of the Reformation. Affiliated with the imperial court of Maximilian I, and later the ducal court of Wilhem IV of Bavaria, his compositional output encompassed all genres of his time. Most of his extant lieder are secular and make use of the German language.
 

In this class, you will experience the wide range of Senfl's lied output, from homophonic settings via more contrapuntal tenor-lied compositions to complex quodlibets combining various well known tunes. The class's carmina compositions, including a fantasia and a lament, and various songs without words. They round up this short introduction and exploration of Senfl's lieder. The music of the class will be presented in adaptations for recorder consort. All instrumentalists and singers are welcome.  Open to: all instrumentalists and singers. Pitch: A = 440 Hz
