Event Description
Presented by Rainer Beckmann, this seminar session focuses on English music from the early 15th through late 17th century that is highly suitable for consorts of recorders. The compositions to be explored encompass a variety of genres and styles, and were originally performed in such differing settings as church, court, private home and public theatre. Among others, they include a polyphonic carol from the Windsor Carol Book, dances from the Court of Henry VIII, a masterful fantasia by William Byrd plus instrumental music written for an opera. Pre-recorded renditions of the music will offer plenty of play-along opportunities for players of all levels. SATB Recorders, A=440hz.
