About the Workshop From about 1550 to 1700, was regarded as one of the most important musical cities in Europe. Beginning in 1527, music making in the city flourished for nearly two centuries. Ensembles grew in size, performances became more frequent, foreign students came to study with esteemed masters, and renowned took positions at the city’s musical centers. Music played a central role in Venetian society, celebrating the city’s greatest attributes: its economic prosperity, its cultural greatness, and its emphases on religious brotherhood and civic pride. We will be studying and playing double-, triple-, and quadruple-choir works by Andrea and , Adrian Willaert, as well as works by their German colleagues, Hans Leo Hassler, , and others.
