MUSICA DEI DONUM WORKSHOP
July 2007
Participants' Comments
'an astounding
experience--I came away a far better singer than when I had arrived
just a few short days before...'
MV, Fredericksburg, VA
An astonishing value with a highly
distinguished and warm faculty!
S.G. (Minnesota)
"The workshop greatly expanded my
knowledge of and appreciation for the magnitude and musical richness
of Lassus' works. The pace of the seminar was just right; the
faculty, exceptional; and the sung service for double choir and
brass at the Seminary chapel, exhilerating. I'll be back."
J.J.D. Mystic, CT
The quality of the instructors was
outstanding. They are not only extraordinarily knowledgeable, but
also able to communicate their expertise in ways that are charming,
entertaining, and accessible to participants at all levels. I
learned an incredible amount in this one week and enjoyed every
minute of the process.
T.L. (Alexandria, VA)
In general, I found the program
stimulating and impressive. The staff (including Mr. Cave) were
spectacular in their gifts and commitment. The additional
participation of Icarus and the brass quartet added immeasurably to
the experience.
"a marvelous journey for those who like
the challenge of singing great music, with the bonus of having
'pros' take you along the route." ugh...not deathless prose.
Dianne Bodeen
...a wonderful learning experience from
a remarkable faculty. Being really pushed to do a large amount of
music a cappella was a terrific challenge, and it made me much more
confident in my ability as a singer as a result of it.
Doug Carleton, Richmond, VA
Thank you very much for a rewarding
experience. It was an honor for me to receive instruction and to
sing along side world-class musicians. I gained a greater knowledge
and appreciation for Lassus and the Renaissance period. I only wish
I could do it for a living!
Brian Seals
Thanks for the very satisfying
opportunity to work with great faculty, singing the inspiring music
of Lassus. Such a treat to soothe the soul, away from the daily
stresses of busy lives, with the oasis experience of the week.
"A wonderful way to learn and experience
beautiful music."
Libby Garvey
I learned a great deal. The
sight-reading and rehearsals improved my singing, and the warm-ups
were full of good tips on how to sing properly, without tension. I
enjoyed learning about Lassus and singing a variety of his music,
and the opportunity for working with an excellent faculty and
singing and socializing with other music-lovers was marvelous! Thank
you
I wished it wouldn't end. Singing the
Laudate Dominum was amazing.
Kitty Yore Smith Arlington, VA
"The workshop made me want to continue
my education in music."
