12-19 August 2023

French style - Versailles and its influence on Europe

The Baroque Workshop Summer School 2023 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.

Ceremonial and orchestral music from the French court composed and collected by Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632-1687) and André Danican Philidor (1647-1730) influenced all European courts. Composers like Johann Jakob Froberger, Georg Muffat, J.C.F. Fischer, Sigmund Kusser, Godfrey Finger, Henry Purcell and others followed the French style.

This Summer School is dedicated to ensemble playing. Viol Consort and Wind Band in the morning. Big orchestra and chamber music in the afternoon.

Ibrahim Aziz - Viols

Michael Dollendorf - Flute, Recorder, Oboe, Bassoon

Pieter Dirksen - Harpsichord

Lully's orchestra was build from violins and viols of all sizes, theorbos, guitars, flutes, recorders, oboes and bassoons. For court entertainments the musicians played in the palaces, the gardens and for opera performances. We have selected a wide range of pieces including the famous 'Chaconne' and the 'Marche pour la Cérémonie des Turcs' from 'Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme', the 'Passacaille' and the 'Sarabande' from 'Armide' and the all time favorite 'Les folies d'Espagne'.

We work at the modern neo-baroque standard pitch of 415 Hz, since most woodwind players will have instruments at this pitch, even though it is quite different from French pitch. In Versailles the chamber-pitch was around 400 Hz and the opera-pitch somewhat below 390 Hz.

For wind players in the last third of the 17th century the 'modern' French woodwinds arrived in Germany and England. There is a lot of good oboe-band and theatre music! Flute players with Hotteterre flutes at 392 Hz or later flutes at 400 Hz can bring them too for the morning classes.

The viol consort will look at Charpentier, Du Mont, Moulinie, Purcell, Locke. We do have a nice consort of Henry Jaye viol copies for players from abroad who don't want to fly with their instruments.

The harpsichord class has fantastic repertoire to study, L. Couperin, D'Anglebert and Froberger being the biggest names. Harpsichord players will work on solo repertoire or work with winds and viols on chamber music.
