Works by Hieronymus Praetorius for singers and players
Saturday 14 January 2017
Morley Green Club, Mobberley Road, Wilmslow, SK9 5NT
Tutor: Roger Wilkes
Singers (all voice parts) and instrumentalists will be very warmly welcomed to take part in this event. While provision will be made for all instrumentalists who appear, the envisaged repertory will sound especially well on loud winds (thus, cornetts and sackbuts in particular), while players of viols and recorders (favouring the larger instruments in both categories) will also be an asset.
The music featured in this workshop will take us to early 17th-century Hamburg, a venue of no small significance for Lutheran music of the time. Hieronymus Praetorius – not related to the more famous Michael (1571-1621), but almost contemporary with him and member of a distinguished Hamburg musical family – was one of the most significant and interesting composers of the time, as the varied selection of his music which we survey will attest. If resources permit, we will dip into motets in 6 parts (O bone Jesu), 8 parts (Cantate Domino and the wonderful Nunc dimittis) and 12 parts (Angelus ad pastores and Jubilate Deo) – as well as other seasonally appropriate items. More information is available on request if needed (Roger can be reached on 01565 872650 or at [email protected]) – including directions to the venue.
