20-22, Lute Society Annual Residential Weekend, Christ Church, Oxford
for LUTES, VIOLS, VOICES and one or two FLUTES OR RECORDERS
Tutors: Jacob Heringman, Jakob Lindberg, (lute) Stewart McCoy (ensemble playing), Jeni Melia (lute song and partsong),
Ian Harwood (mixed consorts), and Sarah Groser (viol/viol consort).
This promises to be a very special event - with all the frisson of making early music in the very places it was heard four
hundred years ago. The focus for the weekend will be the music from the time of Matthew Holmes, praecentor at Christ Church
in the 1590s and scribe of the greatest of all the English lute manuscripts (to be published in facsimile this year by the
Lute Society). The weekend will start with a lute recital in Christ Church cathedral on the Friday evening, then for the
beginning of Saturday morning the college archivist is preparing a special exhibition for us, of some of the incredibly rare
and precious music books from Christ Church library. Ensemble playing and lessons will occupy most of the weekend of course,
with a talk from Ian Harwood before formal dinner on Saturday, then a short concert and madrigal singing, and there will be
a student concert before tea on Sunday afternoon.
You can stay in college (half board, including breakfast in the magnificent great hall) or be a non-resident if you prefer
(cheaper of course) if you 'commute' or stay in the town.
If this is of interest, please email Chris Godwin at Lutesoc@aol.com for an application form.

Sneaton Castle, just outside Whitby. Organised by NEEMF. HISS is a short midweek summer school
in which to explore early music, with a range of expert tutors covering many sides - stye, improvisation, etc. Unlike most summer
schools this will be a 'mix-and-match' event - everyone can pick out the workshops that interest them and go to the ones they fancy.
There will be a range of singing, playing and tuition opportunities to give insight into early music style, such as when, where and
how to ornament; relationship to dance and folk music; the historical and social context of the music, etc. Players of EITHER modern
OR period instruments, of any standard, interested in exploring early performance style are particularly welcome - and, of course,
singers interested in style. Enq. Thomas Green, 01904 673 675
