Recorder Consort

A chance to play with other recorder players.

Viol Consort

A chance to play with other viol players.

Broken Consort

For recorders (usually tenor or lower) combined with tenor and bass viol.
 
 

Consort Songs

Songs for solo voice with viol consort. Confident solo singers (high soprano, second soprano, or mezzo/alto), plus viol players (usually a maximum of one treble viol). If you would like to sing with viols, but would like a different repertoire, or are not sure you are confident and competent enough for a consort song, have a look at "Voices and Viols" instead.
 
 
 
 

Voices and Viols

This could be anything from an English verse anthem to a motet or madrigal from anywhere in Europe, worked on largely one-to-a-part by a mix of voices and either renaissance or soundposted viols.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Baroque Chamber

Play suites and sonatas for two or more instruments with continuo. You will need the necessary technique to deal with those Allegros! You can opt for a solo line (recorder, violin, etc), continuo bass (cello, bass viol, bassoon, even bass recorder), or keyboard.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

A Due Chori

Two choir repertoire for four renaissance recorders at 4 foot and four viols.
 
 

Playing from Facsimile

Work on sixteenth-century music from original notation. There is no better way to connect with the composer, but you will need to have some experience in clefs, note-values, rests and ligatures to join a non-permanent group. If you are interested but are a beginner or unsure of your level, there will be two graded sessions on reading this notation during the 11.30 slots.
 
 

Renaissance Wind Group

For players of cornett, sackbut, crumhorn, curtal or other renaissance wind instruments – not including recorders!

Polychoral

An opportunity to work on a large-scale piece for instruments (and often voices) one-to-a-part. Open to viols, recorders and suitable renaissance wind instruments. Generally, larger sizes of instruments are particularly welcome.
