East Bay Recorder Society
“1580–1640: The Birth of the Baroque” Frances Blaker leads a Collegium Workshop for recorders, early winds, strings, and singers. An exploration of exciting and beautiful works written when the dusk of the Renaissance period crossed with the dawn of the Baroque era. Voices had reigned supreme but now were joined on an equal footing by instruments. Composers were experimenting wildly with new soundscapes made possible by this mixing of forces. While the main focus will be on Italian music, we may also sample music of other lands. We will woo the wild beasts and shake the rafters! This workshop will bring together recorders of all sizes, violins, violas, cellos, viols, sackbuts, cornettos, crumhorns, plucked strings, and of course Voices! HALF-DAY participation is also available. Bring instruments (pitch: A=440), music stand, and bag lunch. Music is included in workshop fee; PDFs will be sent beforehand upon request. Snacks and beverages will be provided for breaks.
