The Art of Diminution - An Exploration of 15th- to 17th-Century Style Melodic Ornamentation

The notes written on the page are often not the end of the story, but rather a starting point for further interpretation and ornamentation. This workshop explores diminutions in the style of the 15th- to 17th centuries by both playing existing diminutions from those time periods, as well as analyzing some of the typical ornamentation patterns and trying them out on unornamented melodies ourselves. We will play compositions by Jacques Arcadelt, Conrad Paumann, John Dowland, and Anonymous, among others, with ornamentations by Diego Ortiz, Jacob van Eyck, and Anonymous.

The workshop material is geared towards upper intermediate and advanced players (but of course everyone is welcome to attend).
