How to Ornament in 90 Minutes—van Eyck and Telemann Show us How! Well, embellishing music is actually more of a long-term project for some of us—indeed, it can be a daunting task! Thankfully, there are wonderful publications out there to help us grasp the vast possibilities. Also thankfully, some composers themselves demonstrated literally how to do it. Some in treatises with how-to musical examples, charts, and tables, and some in their own compositions, note by note, showing us the way. Jacob van Eyck (c.1590-1657) and Georg Philipp Telemann (1681-1767) are such composers. Examining and playing their embellishments can be an enjoyable and helpful part of the learning process. In this workshop we will look at some of van Eyck’s tunes and Telemann’s adagios and begin to explore their ‘ornamental’ language. Even in their different time periods, musical forms and styles, we find similarities, patterns, a vocabulary that over time we can emulate and eventually make our own!
