We are thrilled to offer a workshop led by Alison Crum, one of the best-known British exponents of the viol. As teacher, performer, and moving spirit behind well-known groups including the Rose Consort, she travels all over the world giving recitals, lectures, and workshops. Among her books are Play the Viol (reprinted five times) and the more recent The Viol Rules.
During the day, we will look at a wide range of Elizabethan music c.1600 both instrumental and vocal. We will include not only favorites from the large dance and consort collections by Dowland, Holborne, and Byrd, but also music by lesser-known composers such as Robert White, Robert Parsons, and Alfonso Ferrabosco Senior, among others.
