This month we're getting into French Baroque ornamentation! We're up for another 90-minute Online Course on French Baroque ornamentation, its origins and application to the repertoire: our Online Course on Sunday March 19
 

The course will provide an in-depth exploration of the ornamentation techniques used in French Baroque Music, where we will go into their practical application to musical pieces. We will study the different types of ornaments used during this period, including trills, mordents (battement / pincé), appoggiaturas (port de voix), flattement, etc… We will also examine the historical context in which these ornaments emerged and how they were used by the early Baroque composers for the Airs de Cour, as well as include the importance of the dance forms of the time.

Thrilling Trilling!

How do I make my trills beautiful and easy?  What are common trilling missteps?  And more!

In a fitting finale to Women's History Month, Montclair Early Music is celebrating women composers this Friday, March 31. Our concert features works by women through the centuries — from 12th century Hildegard through to 21st century Jean Harrod. Singers and instrumentalists (recorders, guitars and percussion) will perform pieces ranging from sacred music to love songs and an aria, from a sinfonia to ragtime and a march.

Terpsichore is sponsored, in part, by Lifelong Montclair, an aging in place initiative of the Township of Montclair focused on transforming Montclair into a great place to grow older. Thanks to First Lutheran Church of Montclair for providing the venue.

FREE.
