The 4th International Study Week of Trecento Music will be held in the city of Arezzo from August 18th to 26th , 2019: a specialized course in medieval music under the expert guidance of Kees Boeke (Ensemble Tetraktys, fiddle, recorder), Claudia Caffagni (Ensemble laReverdie, medieval lute, medieval notation), Jill Feldman (voice) and Claire Piganiol (medieval harps, portative organ).
We offer courses in fourteenth-century musical notation, analysis and use of instrumentation, with special emphasis on the relationship between poetic text and music. On a practical level, courses are held for medieval ensembles including voice, medieval lute and harp, fiddle, organetto and recorders.
Like in previous years, the Study Week of Trecento Music will take place in the Locanda di San Pier Piccolo, a former Benedictine monastery, in the heart of the city of Guido Monaco.
Repertoire
The course is conceived for all students who wish to deepen their understanding of medieval repertoire while developing their skills in performance. The choice this fourth year has fallen on the works of the last of the trecento composers, Paolo da Firenze.
