M-A Charpentier:
Messe de Minuit
Tutor: Peter Holman
Joint Eemf and Nema Workshop
Peter Holman is well known as a scholar of Baroque music and the early
orchestra, as well as a teacher, lecturer and Musical Director of The
Parley of Instruments and Opera Restor'd. He is now Professor of
Historical Musicology at the University of Leeds. He was also a founder
member of EEMF. We are privileged that he makes time to share his
knowledge and pleasure in this music with us, continuing his series of
EEMF workshops on works for choir and Baroque orchestra.
Charpentier's charming Messe de Minuit was first performed at Christmas
1694, marking the season by incorporating popular French carols tunes in
the mass. The workshop is open to singers and instrumentalists with
reasonable sight-reading. The work is scored for SSATB chorus and
soloists, with parts for 2 treble recorders, bassoon and strings (violins,
violas I & II and bass – viols, bass violins and cellos welcome), with one
or more theorbos and keyboard. Instrumentalists should bring stands. Pitch
will be A=415.
The workshop, being held jointly with the National Early Music Association
(NEMA), will include the NEMA AGM and the annual Margot Leigh Milner
Lecture.
