Non members welcome, email emsvofvic@gmail.com for venue details.

 

Please park on the lawn at the top of the driveway, by the stone wall, and enter from the veranda.
Leave the driveway for people with mobility issues. Do not park under the large tree as it drops limbs.
 
All WELCOME - singers / instrumentalists can participate in the group playing, but instruments must be of authentic style for the period. The pitch for the afternoon for general playing will be A440 (modern). All vocal parts will be doubled by an instrument.
 
MUSIC TO BE PLAYED/SUNG.

General playing/singing - music will be supplied in a variety of clefs. The music is for voices and instruments, and all vocal lines are doubled by at least one instrument so you can sing beside 'your' instrument.  There will usually be many players/singers per part.

 

Works to be workshopped will include:

John Browne: Stabat Mater Delorosa a6
M Praetorius: Magnificat Super Chorale. a8
Merulo: Adoramus Te a6
Merulo: Hodie Beata a5
Schein: Laetatus a8
Schütz: Nachdem a4 + 2 (S & B)
Valls: Cum Invocarem a6

 

If you want a sneak preview of the music to be played most of it is on the web site Choral public domain (CPDL).  All pieces have a rehearsal keyboard part available.  If there is more than 1 keyboard player, take it in turns to play.  Any queries ring or text Jim Bland 0407 780 143 or email emsvofvic@gmail.com .

 

"Quiet" instruments (viols, flutes, low recorders etc) may stay for playing in the evening at A415. Upper intermediate or advanced members only.
