Triumphans – Music for grand occasions, ceremonies and feasts 1520-1620
directed by The City Musick
This year, The City Musick will explore the music associated with grand royal, religious, and civic events in the 16th and early 17th centuries. Meetings of monarchs, coronations, and installation of doges featured a multitude of aural delights, including large scale multi-choir works to more intimate part songs and instrumental fantasias, ricercare, and dance music.
To enjoy this course fully, participants should be good sight readers, and players should have a good technical command of their instruments. Players of renaissance wind, brass, reeds and strings are most welcome, as well as singers of all ranges.
The course will run for two sessions throughout the day. The first will be for instrumentalists only, and the second will be for combinations of voices and instruments.
