This course is a repertory survey conducted in masterclass format. Each participant will learn and sing in class a song every week or two. English lute ayres, French airs de cour, Italian monodies, and later music up to and including Henry Purcell are included. There is a very limited but interesting selection of reading as well.
Prereq: enrollment is by audition only or previous participation in the ensemble.
Repeatable for credit. Limited to six singers and three continuo players (keyboard, lute/guitar, and/or cello/gamba).
