Jody Miller August 2026

Description

This is a NAVRS members only event. The Limit Does Not Exist: A Gentle Approach to Unconventional Notation and Recorder Techniques in the 20th and 21st Centuries Since the 1960s, composers have found ways to include some rather unconventional techniques in solo and ensemble repertoire for the recorder. This exploration of tonal and rhythmic expression did not leave the recorder behind. Multiphonics, "prepared" instruments, glissandi, and countless other techniques are as suited to the recorder as they are for other instruments. This workshop will give players a chance to learn the terminology and notation that give us access to some of the standard 20th and 21st century repertoire; we'll study relevant excerpts and learn the techniques that keep us from limiting our scope to only the early repertoire. Most repertoire will be copyrighted and Jody will share excerpts on screen with permission from the publishers. A full repertoire list will be available about a month in advance, giving participants an opportunity to purchase full selections either before or after the workshop if they wish to see these excerpts in context. Open to all levels, but techniques and notation are mostly appropriate for solid intermediate to advanced players with an interest in contemporary music.
