EMSQ class with renowned US early musician Tina Chancey
About
This class that Tina calls 'Rhythm Ranch' explores the wild and crazy 14th century style 'Ars Subtilior' (the more subtle art).Was the style really named 'Ars Subtilior' in 1960? What was it called before then? How is it related to the Ars Nova? What's the proof that Machaut was a real diva? Why does the ultra-complicated Ars Subtilior style include simple bird virelais? Who is the blind musicologist who has made heart-shaped manuscripts easy to read? How does 14th c. notation support all that rhythmic variety (and does it more efficiently than our modern notation)? And most important, how do you play this music and actually stay together with the rest of the group? Open to any instrument or voice, both listeners and hands-on experimenters.
Tina is an international early music expert and a popular and engaging presenter. Registrants will receive a Zoom link to join. Please note interstate time differences for session time.
