Paws and Tails: Music from the Glogauer Liederbuch
with Annette Bauer
Wednesdays, Feb 4, 11, 18, and 25; 5:45 - 7 PM, ET
Written in the 1480s, the Glogauer Liederbuch is a collection of music containing over 300 secular and sacred songs, as well as instrumental pieces. It is also the earliest surviving source written in part books (cantus, tenor, contratenor), and is an important source for mid to late 15th-century repertoire. The source contains a mix of Latin church music, German-texted songs, dances & quodlibets, and a number of textless chansons. We will focus primarily on pieces with animal references in their titles.
Prerequisites: The Wednesdays series is geared towards more experienced readers of early notation, who have at the minimum completed my two introductory series, or possess equivalent knowledge. If in doubt, feel free to contact me to see if this series would be right for you.
Cost: $100 for the 4-class series
