Class

“That Old Song and Dance”

In the February meeting, Suzanne Ferguson will continue our exploration of mid-16th century vocal music from the Franco-Flemish/Italian tradition she began a year ago, but with the addition of a set of Italian Dances by Francesco Bendusi published in 1553.  Sopranos and altos, have you been practicing the Renaissance-style ornamentation given out by Sierra Norris a month ago?  Here’s your chance to try it out!  We’ll have fun putting together “arrangements” of the music and learn a little more about the composers and musical traditions of the late Renaissance.

NOTE: The Consort Book will NOT be required, but if you want to practice ahead, we will be including #20, “Io son mi giovanetta” by Domenico Ferrabosco.

Suzanne Ferguson studied recorder in classes with Erich Katz in the 1960’s; and with Michael Lynn at the Oberlin Baroque Performance Institute in the 1980s and 90s. She was on the National Board of the American Recorder Society in the early 1980s and has been active in recorder society chapters in Santa Barbara, Columbus OH, Detroit, and Fort Myers, FL. She frequently reviews new recorder music for American Recorder.

Held at St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church, 602 N Wilmot Road at 5th Street. There is plenty of parking in the NW parking lot under the solar panels. Park and walk around the north end of the church to the east, and meet in the Smith Parish Hall.
