An opportunity to sight-read music which lends itself well to playing for processions and recessions in court. The goal is for some of this music to eventually be compiled into a book, so comments on suitability, difficulty, and preference are welcome. Sheet music will be provided.
Teacher: Aaron Drummond and Jadwiga Krzyzanowska
We will play through a collection of popular dance tunes printed in Venice in 1478 by Giorgio Mainerio: musician, composer,... and notorious occultist?
Teacher: Martin Bildner
We'll be discussing, rehearsing, and recording a number of Gresley dances. Drones are needed, so if you can only play a single note, you are welcome to join us.
Teacher: Roselyne de l'Estrangere and Daniele da Padola
We will be teaching two of the most definite reconstructions for the Il Papa manuscript. Both are relatively straightforward dances, though some familiarity with early and late Italian dances would be helpful.
Lo Dimostra:

audio,

Lucretia:
Sheet music,
audio (5x through),
instructions
Teacher: Gwommy
This verse is much simpler than my first one with an appropriate theme (that will be revealed during class). Also, I suspect that it won't take an entire hour, so I'll also teach Violet's Fancy
Teacher: Alina of Foxwood
The dances of Italy in the 16th Century are all about love and flirtation, but be careful - what goes around comes around! Come see for yourself in 3 circular Italian dances: Contrapasso (from the Chigi manuscript), Fedleta, and Bella Gioiosa.
