Future Workshops
2014 programme
Sunday 15th June (including AGM just before lunch): 'The Secrets of our Hearts': love and death in Restoration music. Workshop for singers and instrumentalists. We will be exploring two themes central to church and court at the end of the 17th century: love and death in the church and on the stage. The funeral music of Henry Purcell and William Croft will be contrasted with the closing choruses of Purcell’s Dido and Aeneas and Blow’s Venus and Adonis. To enjoy the courtly love aspect, we will look at select choruses from Dido and also Venus. Sacred love will be represented by Purcell's wonderful "Bell" Anthem (Rejoice in the Lord Alway) and Croft's "Laudate Dominum"
To be followed in the early evening by a recital given by the tutors.
Tutors: Steven Devine & Kate Semmens
