Abstract
Participatory workshop about creating canons, for instrumentalists and singers with Sarah Mead of Brandeis University, USA
The creation of canons was a basic building-block in the teaching of Renaissance polyphony, but Josquin took that imitative art to new heights in his compositions. Hone your listening skills and explore how to make your own imitations by the most sincere form of flattery. (Strings, winds, and voices welcome, pitch A=440)
