45th International Early Music Course
MUSIC FROM THE RENAISSANCE

SPACEandSOUNDinSPACE

500 years of cori spezzati in Europa

A new sound experience created in a original spatial environment

Originating from the responsorial style in Gregorian music, the first multi-choral works were composed in Padua and Venice around five hundred years ago.

Singers against …?

Composers such as Andrea and Giovanni Gabrieli, Alessandro Grandi, Gioseffo Guami, Lodovico Viadana or Pietro Lappi experimented for the first time with the previously unimaginable influence of space on sound. Orlando di Lasso, Phillip de Monte, Adriaen Willaert and no less important composers such as Hans Leo Hassler, Michael Praetorius, Johann Hermann Schein, Samuel Scheidt, Heinrich Schütz amongst others also greatly appreciated the effect of spatially distributed ensembles.

… strings against …

The exceptional architecture of the church space was used in various ways to experiment with sound in space. Sounding out from the various galleries or from diverse places in the church, singers and instrumentalists made music alone, against and with each other! Verily an expansion and enrichment of the sound.

… wind instruments?

The proportions of the architectural space connect the sounds of vocal and instrumental groups positioned on different places throughout the space. The audience, but also the singers and instrumentalists themselves, experienced by the changing sounds in the church, a very complex and for that time innovative sense of space.

… or all together?

Depending on the musical possibilities of the course participants, a choice is made from the oeuvre of these composers, varying in line-up: music is played in smaller groups (such as singers, horns and strings) and in plenum.

On Friday 12th of July at 8 p.m. compositions will be performed at the Saint-Anna church in Bruges during a final concert.
