The 2nd International Study Week of Trecento Music will be held in the city of Arezzo from August 20th to 28th 2017: 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. The central theme of study will be the Squarcialupi Codex, now in the Biblioteca Medicea Laurenziana of Florence.
