Robert Dow (1553-1588) started copying music into his partbooks around 1581. They are a unique source of Tudor music in many respects. Dow was a trained calligrapher and wrote down the music very clear and easy to read. He assembled pieces by the most prominent composers of his time: William Byrd, Alfonso Ferrabosco, Robert Parsons, Thomas Tallis, Christopher Tye, Robert White and many others.Most pieces are 5-part vocal music but obviously music from partbooks was needed by instrumental consort players in a private setting. The first instrument that comes to mind is the viol, but also a group of flutes or recorders is well suited.
As always we provide the music some month before in facsimile and in modern editions. You should be able to read g, f, and c-clefs.
There are matched consorts of viols (six instruments after Henry Jaye) and recorders (17 instruments after the consort recorders in Vienna) available which we'll be using. There is no need to bring an instrument, unless you also have a gut-strung English 6-string viol. Our pitch is 408 Hz, a little lower than 415 Hz.
There is a limit of five participants for each class. We work every day from 9:30 – 6:00 in Bochumer Straße, 10555 Berlin-Tiergarten. Price: € 270,-.
You can register by e-mail. At the same time transfer the money into our bank account. Please book as early as possible, so we can plan the music and sort out parts.
