Workshop DANCES! (with Gudula Rosa)

Pavane, Galliard, Almains and others

During England's Golden Age (approx. 1558 to 1603), dances such as country dances, pavane, galliard and volta were very popular. These dances were often performed at court and in society and reflected the cultural richness and elegance of the time. In this workshop, we will play five-part dances by John Dowland and Anthonie Holborne together and immerse ourselves in the fascinating world of this music, which is full of grace, elegance and beauty. The workshop is aimed at technically skilled players who are proficient in at least two instruments of the recorder family, including the bass recorder. Great and sub-bass recorders are very welcome.

Workshop Women's Voices of the Middle Ages (with Regina Himmelbauer)

Music by Kassia, Hildegard von Bingen and from the Cantigas de Santa Maria

This workshop provides an introduction to the fascinating world of medieval music. The focus is on works by female composers such as Hildegard von Bingen and Kassia, supplemented by songs from the Cantigas de Santa Maria, a collection of Marian chants from the 13th century. The archaic tonal language of this music is particularly well suited to recorders of different pitches. In addition to practical music-making, historical background and stylistic features are also taught.

Ensemble Workshop Klezmer (with Duo NIHZ)

Duo NIHZ is known worldwide for interpreting Klezmer. Bobby Rootveld and Sanna van Elst lead workshops around the world with their arrangements of klezmer songs. You can expect melancholic and lively melodies combined with touching stories about the music during this workshop. Also this year Duo NIHZ will present some new Klezmer ensemble arrangements at the Nordhorn Recorder Festival.
