COURSE: II Encuentro de Músicas Antiguas y Patrimonio

This Second Meeting of Early Music and Heritage aims to bring the world of early music closer to the public, as well as to highlight the rich musical heritage preserved in our musical archives. From Friday, October 25th to Sunday, October 27th, a series of workshops and activities will be held at the Las Clarisas Cultural Center, led by the Ensemble La Danserye and Marcel Pérès. The event will be coordinated by Rubén Pacheco.

Ministriles School

This course, taught by members of the Ensemble La Danserye, aims to provide knowledge and an introduction to the world of ministriles: wind instrumentalists who performed both in sacred and secular settings from the 15th to almost the 19th century. It is aimed at individuals with some musical reading skills and experience playing an instrument (even if it is a modern instrument) who are interested in Renaissance music.

The seminar will be organized as follows:

1. Theoretical-practical classes on typically Renaissance instruments: cornetto, shawm, sackbut, dulcian, crumhorns, and recorders. These classes will cover theoretical aspects of the instruments (organology, tuning, temperament) as well as technical and interpretive issues.
2. Ensemble classes, where joint works will be prepared, addressing issues such as ensemble tuning (mean-tone temperament), notation, tempo, and everything related to historically informed performance practices, based on original sources (facsimiles) and treatises from the period. Historical “possible” and coherent instrumental groups and combinations will be established according to the repertoire, era, and geographical location being studied in each case.

The meeting will conclude with a concert on Sunday, the 27th at 9:00 PM at the Iglesia de San Juan, featuring the course students, Marcel Pérès, and the Ensemble La Danserye.

Instructors: Ensemble La Danserye (Fernando Pérez Valera, Juan Alberto Pérez Valera, and Luis Alfonso Pérez Valera)
