Commemorative workshop on anthems by HandelSunday 27 September 2015
Jesus College Chapel, Cambridge |
This workshop is being held to commemorate Selene Mills (Selene Webb) and Christopher Hogwood. Selene is of course known to us as an early enthusiast for the Eastern Early Music Forum and as the driving force behind Cambridge Early Music. Christopher Hogwood was a renowned harpsichordist, musicologist, conductor and musical director: in 1967 he co-founded, with David Munrow, the Early Music Consort, and in 1973 he founded the Academy of Ancient Music. Christopher was also a Fellow of Jesus College.
The workshop will be led by Peter Holman, one of our Trustees and President of the Friends of Cambridge Early Music, and will focus on two anthems by Handel, “The Ways of Zion do Mourn” (which was The Funeral Anthem for Queen Caroline 1737), and the Coronation Anthems 1727, “Let Thy Hand be Strengthened”. The first anthem is rarely performed. The workshop is open to all singers with reasonable sight-reading, and to the following instrumentalists: four-part strings (two violins, viola, cello / gamba, double bass in Baroque set-up, or modern instruments, preferably gut-strung, with Baroque bows), oboes, bassoon and continuo. Pitch A = 415.
