Chorworks Annual Summer Workshop
"The Fam'd Italian Masters" Italian Choral Music
from Ciconia to Monteverdi.
July 6 -11, 2010,
with a pre-workshop day available on July 5.
In 1685 Henry Purcell said whilst
composing his trio sonatas he had “faithfully
endeavour’d a just imitation of
the most fam’d Italian Masters,”
and this year’s workshop considers the scope and
influence of Italian composers from Ciconia to
Monteverdi. There will be a wide range of sacred and
secular music to sing and to hear from the 15th to the
17th centuries, including some well-known names like
Palestrina, Allegri, Lotti, Monteverdi and Vivaldi, and
some less familiar such as Cozzolani and Massaino. The
workshop will take place at Washington National
Cathedral and the Cathedral College,
located on the Cathedral grounds.
