Description
The course fee of $80 includes all 4 live sessions and the recordings. An annual paid NAVRS membership is not required. Non-members contact secretary@navrs.org to register. NAVRS is excited to present the 5th edition of Medieval Mondays taught by NAVRS music director Annette Bauer. Thank you for your continued interest in medieval music! Medieval Mondays runs from September to December 2026 in four sessions. Each class will focus on a particular medieval topic, composer, or musical source. The sessions include a brief overview of the composer and information about the music’s historical context then a selection of music to discover and play. Scores will be available for registered participants a week ahead of each class. For a description of the sessions check - https://tinyurl.com/y3z48fwf Medieval Mondays will take place on the following dates, always from 12:30-2pm Eastern: September 14: Famous Burgundian Songs - A 15th-century Hit Parade October 19: “La Fortune de Fauvel” - Music from the Roman de Fauvel November 16: Music from the Old Hall Manuscript December 14: “Gaudete!” A Medieval Christmas All music will be provided in modern notation. The playing level is geared towards recorder players of intermediate and higher skill levels - fluency on C- and F-instruments is expected. For the most part, the chosen music will be accessible on alto and tenor recorders, occasionally also on soprano or bass. Since some portion of every class is spent on the historical and musical background, everyone is welcome to join the series, even if your playing level is a bit lower than suggested. In that case, feel free to work with and absorb the given materials over a longer period of time, at your own pace. NOTE: After you register, you will receive a confirmation email with a link to the music and Zoom for the sessions. Music for each session will be at this link, available at least one week before the session.
