Renaissance Flute Consort Weekend Workshop
This year's workshop will explore the repertoire of Das Liederbuch des Arndt von Aich (1514/1516), with music by turn-of-the-century composers such as Adam von Fulda and Matthaeus Pipelare, and musicians from the court of Maximilian I, including Heinrich Isaac and Paul Hofhaimer. Much of the repertoire for Renaissance flutes was written for consorts. A typical consort of Renaissance flutes includes 3 tenor flutes and a bass flute, or a treble, 2 tenors and a bass. Larger ensembles are possible too: there is music for 5,6 and 8 Renaissance flutes. Workshop extras include mini-lectures on topics specifically related to the Renaissance flute, guided instruction on reading from 16th-century notation, and opportunities to try instruments by various makers. This year, we will meet on Friday evening, and workshop will end Sunday early afternoon. Exact schedule tba. Open to flutists with all levels of experience, from beginners on the Renaissance flute to already existing flute consorts.
