“Singing for the Soul”

an introduction to singing chant and medieval music

one day workshops with Clare Norburn

£40 per person (waged) £32 (concessions)

 next dates: Autumn 2002

   

Singing medieval music is a life enhancing experience!  The music is wonderfully free from constraints and speaks with an unusual emotional directness – it represents a whole new world of expression and is closer in spirit to world and folk music.

This one day workshop is suitable for both beginners and experienced performers. 

We will explore some of most spiritual and beautiful songs and chants and look at how to tackle singing this unusual repertoire.  The music will include chant by the extraordinary medieval abbess Hildegard of Bingen, lively 13th century Spanish cantigas and the moving poetry and music of the 12th century troubadours.     

“humanity’s bridge to the heavenly harmonies” – Hildegard’s view of music
