Med/Ren Collegium, March 4, 2012Med/Ren Home | Faculty Bios | Class Descriptions | Schedule | Special Evening EventsFees/Enrollment | Scholarships | Venue | Collegium | Registrants' packet(pdf) | Last Year Medieval & Renaissance collegium for singers, viols, recorders and other soft instrumentsItalian Vernacular Music from 1200 to 1700Tom Zajac (Piffaro, director of early music ensembles at Wellesley College *) returns to the Bay Area to direct this day-long historical perspective on the music of Italy. The MedRen Collegium is a wonderful place for early music enthusiasts to come together in a large mixed ensemble and experience this exciting repertoire. Singers, viols, recorders, flutes, lutes, harps, dulcians, sackbuts and all "soft" early instruments are all welcome.Take a historical romp through this unusual workshop day and explore monophonic laude, istanpittas and trecento polyphony. From there we will move into 15th century canti carnascelschi, frottole, polyphonic laude and ballo tunes; 16th century madrigals, villanesca, villanella and villota; ricercare canzone, sonatas and of course, dance music. The evening session will conclude with Baroque the madrigal comedy, opera choruses and Vivaldi. As in previous years, Tom is not taking a penny for this presentation: all proceeds go toward the SFEMS Medieval & Renaissance Summer Workshop scholarship fund to help pay the tuition of participants who could not otherwise afford to attend. Please come and support this excellent program, while enjoying singing and playing together in this lovely setting.
