Do you harbour a secret belief that a lot of Handel would sound great when sung like a pub tune? Do you think the church choir would be more fun if you could play along with your fiddle? Find out what the English were doing while we were evolving the Shape Note tradition, and hear what Thomas Hardy’s characters, or Jane Austen and her preacher father, heard on a Sunday morning! Please join us at this month's West Gallery Music workshop. West Gallery music is suitable for all voices, and also most melodic instruments (bowed strings, woodwinds, concertinas, trombones, &c.). Music booklets will be provided.

The Art of Counterpoint: Bach & Zelenka
Kleine Kammermusik: Geoffrey Burgess & Meg Owens, recorders & oboes; Stephanie Corwin, bassoon; Rebecca Humphrey, cello & viola da gamba; Leon Schelhase, harpsichord
Kleine Kammermusik, based in Philadelphia, was formed in 2013 as a flexible ensemble of two treble winds (oboes or recorders) with a mixed continuo group led by acclaimed harpsichordist Leon Schelhase. They will present great contrapuntal works of J. S. Bach, from The Musical Offering, Art of Fugue, Well-Tempered Clavier, and other collections. Next to these classics will be seldom-heard, intriguing sonatas by Bach’s Czech friend J. D. Zelenka (1679-1745). Born near Prague, Zelenka was a violone player in the glittering cultural center of Dresden. His music is “notably adventurous,” with superb counterpoint and inventive, “iridescent” harmonies. A poet found his church music “so touching that the rapt breast / Has a foretaste of the heavenly pleasures.”

The Art of Counterpoint: Bach & Zelenka
Kleine Kammermusik: Geoffrey Burgess & Meg Owens, recorders & oboes; Stephanie Corwin, bassoon; Rebecca Humphrey, cello & viola da gamba; Leon Schelhase, harpsichord
Kleine Kammermusik, based in Philadelphia, was formed in 2013 as a flexible ensemble of two treble winds (oboes or recorders) with a mixed continuo group led by acclaimed harpsichordist Leon Schelhase. They will present great contrapuntal works of J. S. Bach, from The Musical Offering, Art of Fugue, Well-Tempered Clavier, and other collections. Next to these classics will be seldom-heard, intriguing sonatas by Bach’s Czech friend J. D. Zelenka (1679-1745). Born near Prague, Zelenka was a violone player in the glittering cultural center of Dresden. His music is “notably adventurous,” with superb counterpoint and inventive, “iridescent” harmonies. A poet found his church music “so touching that the rapt breast / Has a foretaste of the heavenly pleasures.”
8pm - Salem Athenaeum, 337 Essex St., Salem, MA 01970
