2023/2024 Schedule
Oct 7
Ricardo Beron
There are a couple of pieces that call for a sopranino recorder as the top voice (!). My idea is to help players to embrace the sopranino's middle range as a good sonority in ensemble playing -- mind you, we won't have 10 of them... just one or two will do...
Rosenmuller's Sinfonia: we are only working on the FIRST movement; be sure to print the part/s for the first movement only, which ends on measure 74.
Lappi's Canzon Duodecima: do NOT print the parts in C clef. The file for Vitali's La Scalabrina contains both the score (at the beginning) and the parts at the end.
Program order:
-
Bertali, Sonatella a 5i

Lappi, Canzon Duodecima
---Break--- -

Shepherds
Byrd: The second part (Medius) is in the soprano range, but since it's actually the melody, it would be helpful to include a few alto players who are comfortable reading up an octave.
Several pieces have either two soprano or two alto parts, so presumably soprano/alto players should print both just in case.
There will also be a ¨Guess the Composer" piece, which David will bring the music for (not included in the downloadable files).

Berlioz - Shepherd's Farewell
Byrd - Lullaby
Morales - Pastores dicite, quidnam vidistis

Antiphonal Music
Hearing or performing an-phonal music has always seemed so magical to me. I love how the music has you turning your head back and forth—like a tennis match! In this session, we will explore pieces by Giovanni Gabrieli, Giovanni Picchi and J.S. Bach. Gabrieli, who was the organist for San Marco Basilica in Venice, made great use of the opposing choir lofts, which allow choirs and instrumentalists to project sound from each side in a call and response fashion. This technique of polychoral or antiphonal music continued through the next century, and J.S. Bach was known to use this technique—think of St MaKhew Passion with two orchestras and two choirs!

Gabrieli - Sonata pian' e forte
Picchi - Canzon Decima Ottava a 8
Bach - Sinfonia from Christmas Oratorio
