Sat - Sat, 29 Aug - 5 Sep 2020, Tudor Polyphony and Beyond… A choral course for 16-18 experienced singers. Tutors: Eamonn Dougan and Francis Steele
Imagine a vast oil canvas… The five Tudor monarchs – all depicted – have courteously requested the presence of all the musicians who served during their reigns. John Browne is chatting with the Mundys, Sheppard laughing with Cornysh and Tye; Byrd and Tallis are deep in conversation with Elizabeth, whilst Taverner has recruited the 4 Roberts – White, Wylkynson, Parsons and Fayrfax– to play In nomines upon the dais. Anon skulks in a recess. A breath-taking array of talent there assembled.
Eamonn and Francis want to restore this canvas, not in oils, but in sound. They will select some of the greatest works of the Tudor period – antiphons, mass movements, motets – in order to discover the manifold beauties of this complex and challenging repertoire. They rely on you to be the artists.
We are seeking experienced singers and sight-readers to take part in this week of musical and culinary excess in the South of France. The venue is La Maison Verte in Roujan, Languedoc. All food, tuition and music are included, and the accommodation is onsite, comfortable and spacious. The course fee is 795 euros and non-singing guests are welcome.

3.00 pm, Leeds Baroque, Clothworkers’ Centenary Concert Hall, the University of Leeds LS2 9JT. Handel: Messiah, Leeds Baroque soloists, Choir and Orchestra, directed by Peter Holman. Pre-concert talk 2:00pm: Dr David Vickers. Messiah, the first work performed by Leeds Baroque, is a fitting conclusion to our 20th anniversary season. For this very special performance we welcome back some of our colleagues who have gone on from Leeds to make exciting professional careers. Peter Holman has chosen the fast-moving and dramatic version of the oratorio that Handel settled on in the 1750s, when he gave it annually to support the Foundling Hospital in London; it includes the rarely heard and dramatic soprano version of ‘But who may abide’, used at the Foundling Hospital in 1754. https://www.leedsbaroque.org/
