6-13 August 2022

English Music from the courts of Henry VIII to Elizabeth I

Cornish – Tye – Holborne - Brade – Byrd – Tallis - Dowland

The Renaissance Workshop Summer School 2021 will take place in the historic town of Wolfenbüttel, home to Michael Praetorius and Johann Rosenmüller. Also Johann Theile, Reinhard Keiser, Johann Adolf Hasse, Carl Heinrich Graun, Wilhelm Friedemann Bach and many other great composers were linked to this most important art loving court. Today it is known for the Herzog-August-Bibliothek, one of the greatest libraries in the world. The churches were Praetorius and  Rosenmüller worked and are buried still stand and the town is absolutely charming, nothing more then a short walk away.

We shall focus on the Tudor period from 1509 - 1603. These years cover the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI, Mary I and Elizabeth I.

Most popular was the consort music in mixed ensembles, the broken consort. One standard was having a treble and a bass viol on the outer voices, flute and lute taking the middle lines and a cittern and a bandora to provide treble and bass harmony.

Amanda Markwick - Renaissance flute

Ibrahim Aziz - Viols

Lee Santana - Lute, Cittern, Bandora, Renaissance guitar

Michael Dollendorf - Recorder, Cornetto, Sackbut

Sven Schwannberger - Voice

There will be individual lessons and consort classes in the morning, open to the other students as listeners. Singers will work on Madrigals and Songs. Wind players, viols and lutes will also focus on consort playing. In the afternoon we will arrange mixed consorts. Please don't expect to spend all day with your group of instruments!

Singers will be working on Madrigals and Songs but also sacred Music by Byrd and Tallis can be sung. Sven is an expert on period styles and ornamentation. Himself an accomplished lute player he can also work on self accompagnement if singers come with their own preferred instrument.

The lute players will focus on the solo repertoire and song accompagnement. The Tuder period is a candy-store for players of plucked instruments. Lee is a master on the cittern too.

We'll be working at 458 Hz (recorders, cornetts, sackbuts) and at 408 Hz (flutes, viols, lutes). For the wind players we can provide consort instruments.
