NEW CALL FOR SCHOLARSHIPS

Deadline for applications: 1 March 2013

The Egida Sartori and Laura Alvini Early Music Seminars

Director: Pedro Memelsdorff

More Hispano

Tomás Luis de Victoria in Rome and Madrid

Venice, 10-16 May 2013

Seminar

The seminar will focus on motets, psalms and antiphons by Tomás Luis de Victoria (1548-1611), and especially on the problem of their purely vocal or mixed — vocal and instrumental — scoring. The title of the seminar, more hispano, alludes in fact to the performance of this repertoire with wind instruments, a practice widely documented in early seventeenth-centurySpainarchives.

Scholarships

The seminar addresses two different professional or semi-professional ensembles, both specialized in the repertoire of late-renaissance polyphony: a vocal and a wind-instrument quartet. Participants are required to perform on historical instruments at pitch a = 440 or 460 Hz. In-house organ accompaniment will be at disposal.

Eight scholarships are available. Applications must be sent to the Seminar’s secretary by March 1st, 2013, and include the following material:

– detailed curriculum of the ensemble and single members

– sample mp3 recording of late-renaissance polyphony, sent via https://www.dropbox.com/

The Seminar is also opened to listeners on request to be approved by the secretary.
