The first, LET YOUR
POLYPHONY DANCE, (May 17 - 22) is designed for intermediate singers
who can read music and sing regularly in choirs but want a fun-filled week
honing their choral and technical skills. The course will be led jointly by Deborah
Roberts and Janet Coxwell from the Tallis
Scholars. Daily warm ups will include Janet Coxwell’s famous dance
routines aimed at building a strong sense of rhythm and pulse. There will be
a wide range of early and traditional music and the course will end with an
informal concert. The second course, DIDO AND AENEAS,
(June 9 - 17) is designed for advanced solo and ensemble singers and baroque
string players and will include working towards a public performance of
Purcell's beautiful opera – in addition to a range of other activities and
performance opportunities. Players of modern string instruments will also be
accepted, provided that they are willing to tune down to 415 pitch. The
course will be led by Deborah Roberts and Red Priest
violinist Julia Bishop. |

York
St John University, York open to all student, professional and amateur musicians
from early, classical and folk traditions. The course explores connections between early music and
folk & traditional music. If you like early music, come along and find out more about its
context. If your background is traditional music or classical music, come and try something new – this is a
unique chance to do so in a friendly atmosphere. The historically rich city of York has much to
offer, and in 2012 there is the added bonus of the York Mystery Play cycle
performances during the week. |
