Early music - vocals, strings, winds, keys



This course for early baroque music aims to make the liveliness and expressiveness of “early music” tangible. For the second time, singers are also invited to take part in the course. In addition to pure vocal, wind and string pieces, works with mixed instrumentation and large tutti pieces will also be included. One focus is on historical articulation and phrasing techniques as well as basso continuo playing. Exercises in mean-tone intonation round off the spectrum. Keyboard instruments are available for this purpose. Players of historical string instruments as well as cornetts, baroque trombones and dulcians are invited.
