Description:
ECRS May ZOOM Session, Saturday, May 15 with Susan Hellauer
"The 13th-century motet: The songs that forced a rhythmic reckoning." It was the repertory of the French 13th-century motet that forced musicians to create a way of writing rhythmic notation—to show “longs” and “shorts” and “longers” and “shorters”—of both sound and silence--in single, separate signs. It was a watershed “lightbulb moment” in Western music history, and you will see, hear, and play these landmark pieces.
SUSAN HELLAUER is a founding member of the renowned vocal quartet Anonymous 4, and is an adjunct Assistant Professor of Music at Queens College, CUNY.
Music for the workshop will be sent to registered attendees upon registration and the Zoom invitation will be sent the day before.
The event is open to all ECRS members and may also be joined by visitors (drop-ins) for a fee of $20 via PayPal or check (which can be applied toward a full-year membership). The music for this session is sent to members and registered drop-ins well before the session.
A bonus of participating in the session is being able to participate in the Early Group. From 10:30 to 11:15 in the week preceding the monthly session our Co-President Maxanne Kass reviews the music (which you'll have received via email ahead of time) to go over any tricky rhythms, fingerings, etc. and talk a little about the history and style of the pieces. If you wish to join the Early Group, let Maxanne know ahead of time at Maxanne94@att.net
Please email our treasurer, Judy Gedge - jgedge22@gmail.com - if you would like to become a member of ECRS or if you plan to join us as a drop-in for this session.
