On March 15th David Echelard presents: “The Art of the Motet ; Exploring the Stile Antico”. This is the pure, balanced, woven style of music that made the 16th century the golden age of polyphony. We’ll work through the masterpieces of four giants who defined this sound: Willaert, Lassus, Victoria, and Palestrina. For recorder players, this will be an exercise of playing the recorder with an awareness of how a singer sings, focusing on vocalized articulation, using the underlying text vowels and consonants of the motets to dictate our tonguing, phrasing, and breathing.
All music for March will be available here. Meeting location information is found here. See our latest newsletter here.
Please join us in March for this great opportunity to delve into the wonderful polyphony of the Renaissance! All are welcome!
