De workshop ‘Barok in de Hanzesteden‘ zal zich voornamelijk richten op een aantal componisten, geboren of werkzaam in de Hanzesteden Lübeck en Hamburg.
Omdat veel van de werken in die tijd geschreven zijn voor meerdere (solo)stemmen, gecombineerd met instrumentaal ensemble, zal het repertoire vaak een samenspel zijn van solowerken, duo’s, trio’s en kwartetten met basso continuo die (later) aangevuld wordt met de voorgeschreven instrumenten (solo viool, blazers, gamba’s).
De te kiezen werken uit het voorgestelde repertoire zijn van: Franz Tunder, Nikolaus Bruhns, Thomas Weckmann en Dietrich Buxtehude.
Tijdens de sessies zal worden gewerkt aan vocaal-technische en muziekhistorische interpretatie en er wordt eveneens veel tijd besteed aan het (solistisch) ensemblezingen.

The workshop ‘Baroque Music in Hanseatic Cities’ will mainly focus on a number of composers, born or working in the cities of Lübeck and Hamburg.Because many of the works at that time were written for multiple (solo) voices, combined with an instrumental ensemble, the repertoire will often be a combination of solo works, duos, trios and quartets with basso continuo that is (later) supplemented with the prescribed instruments (solo violin, winds, gambas).
Proposed repertoire are works by Franz Tunder, Nikolaus Bruhns, Thomas Weckmann and Dietrich Buxtehude. During the sessions we will work on vocal-technical and music-historical interpretation and on (solo) ensemble singing.
