Two Carmina Buranas: An Interplay of Modern and Medieval
Boston Camerata and Newburyport Choral Society
Could two musical works of the same name be more different? On the one hand, a complex, densely orchestrated piece of modern, Stravinsky-styled music, with ancient Latin texts ranging from drunken songs to philosophical ruminations—Carmina Burana by 20th Century composer Carl Orff. On the other, equally spirited texts, but sung with simple voices, accompanied only by ancient instruments—the original Carmina Burana, a vivacious portrayal of Man’s fate and redemption, and wonderful tales of revelry, wine and love, compiled by students and clerks from medieval southern Germany.

Special Topic: Viols and Shakespeare – Why Not?
Carol Lewis, instructor
We know that William Shakespeare was a wonderful playwright and poet, and that there was music associated with his works. However, no actual sheet music is included in the Folios or with the Sonnets, so we must go to 16th- and 17th-century musical sources to figure out what actors and audiences might have been expecting to hear. When we start to investigate, we find that Shakespeare refers to quite a few pieces of music that were well known to his public: there are art songs, ballads (bawdy as well as serious), and even rounds, as well as dances such as would have been performed in masques. Remember that Sir Andrew Aguecheek in Twelfth Night “plays o’ th’ viol-de-gamboys”, so we know that viols were part of the mix. Try out some tunes on any size of viol you’d like – there will be music in treble, alto, and bass clefs (maybe even a tiny bit of tablature!) You’ll hear something about where the music came from, and you’ll get some ideas about where you might like to take it, whether it be solo pieces or music that you can play with your friends.
For beginning, intermediate, and advanced players. All players and listeners are welcome. A=415. Class will be recorded and made available to registrants for one month.
2pm - on Zoom
$15 members/$20 nonmembers. Deadline to register: May 17. Link and materials will be sent to registrants.
