Event Description
On The Cusp Between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance
Music of the Middle Ages and music of the Renaissance - what is the difference? In our November playing meeting, recorder player and composer Frances Blaker will take us on a musical journey to the very cusp between these two historical time periods. We will play two medieval and two renaissance pieces to hear for ourselves how to distinguish and navigate their different musical styles. The two featured compositions on the medieval side are by Leonel Power (1380-1445) and Francesco Landini (1335-1397), and by Constanzo Festa (1485/90-1545) and William Byrd (1540-1623) for Team Renaissance!
Cost: NAVRS Membership is $20 and each playing session is $15; membership is not required for your first meeting but there is a charge of $15.
The Zoom link will be live, beginning at 1:30 PM, Eastern. Please join us as we will use the time to chat and do breakout rooms to get to know one another.
