Make the Lute Sing (Without a Singer!)
This class takes us to the core of contemporary thinking on the interpretation of renaissance lute music; from breathing to phrasing, and through articulation, expression and ornamentation. Each participant is encouraged to play and to bring some music and questions to be discussed in the class. Intabulations are especially welcome. All Lutes at 440!
