SFEMS Medieval and Renaissance Workshop
From vilain to courtois, we will explore the Medieval and Renaissance realms of amor (refined or courtly love) and amars (animal lust) in songs of unrequited love and longing, in songs full of double entendre, and in sacred Masses and motets. We will chase the spirit of Rabelaisian humor in bawdy songs and dances, and find out just how much they all have in common. Click here for class descriptions and schedule.
Continues through Saturday, July 9
