Oriented toward conductors, this hands-on course invites participation from graduates and upper-division undergraduates interested in renaissance choral and vocal ensemble repertoire. Emphasis is placed on cross-national genres, styles, and trends, and on the cultural contexts that shaped these idioms. Following a review, the course is organized geographically. Regions and associated styles of focus include France and Burgundy, the German-speaking territories, Italy, the Iberian Peninsula, and England. Among other activities, students will sight sing from period notation, improvise polyphony, and complete exercises in music paleography. Students will also engage in discussions of primary source readings, relating to humanism, trade and intercultural exchange, the reformations, and print culture. Inclusivity is a priority; several sessions are dedicated to the exploration and celebration of women’s creative artistry; and two meetings investigate Jewish "converso" (forced conversion) culture and Hebrew-texted polyphony. The course concludes with graduate-led workshops. Restriction(s): Restricted to students in the Music department.
