Introduction to Baroque Opera with Dylan Sauerwald Saturday, April 25, 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time (12:00 p.m. Pacific Time) The Baroque stage is a confusing place. Everyone is dressing up as everyone else, almost nothing is in English, and gods gavotte in and out like they're on Seinfeld. In a whirlwind tour, students will explore the wide and wonderful world of early opera, learning about the styles, ideas, forms, and forces that shaped this magical repertoire. The aim of this course is to give students deeper insight into, and appreciation of, the dazzling and baffling family of operatic genres that form the molten core of Baroque artistic expression. Materials for this class available here for download. We will examine the major styles within Baroque-period musical theater by studying representative excerpts from nine composers: Claudio Monteverdi, Pier Francesco Cavalli, Jean-Baptiste Lully, Henry Purcell, Reinhard Keiser, Georg Friedrich Händel, Jean-Philippe Rameau, Georg Philipp Telemann, and Christoph Willibald Gluck. Open to all! An English Banquet of Song with Emily Eagen Sunday, April 26 at 1:00 p.m. Eastern Time (10:00 a.m. Pacific Time) This class will begin with an invigorating vocal warm up and then dive right into repertoire! We will focus on simple songs (rounds, canons, duets) from the English Renaissance that you can learn either by ear or score and enjoy singing with those at home or with yourself - possibly using the magic of Garage Band! The English Renaissance offers a treasure trove of delightfully witty, achingly lovely, and magically crafted songs that will delight and intrigue you. Emily will share tips for making music with these songs, and share ideas about how to use this repertory to keep expanding both your vocal capacities and your musicianship. Music will be available for download here. Open to: All who like to sing Recorder Technique with Aldo Abreu Sunday, April 26 at 3:00 p.m. Eastern Time (12:00 p.m. Pacific Time) In this class we’ll cover important aspects of breathing, sound production, articulation, and fingering, including correct use of the thumb and double hole technique. Exercises will be drawn from my published technique exercise books: Warm Ups and Technical Exercises, Finger Exercises, Articulation Etudes part I, Articulation Etudes part II, 4 Vibrato Exercises and 4 Sound Control and Silent Breathing Etudes.
