TVEMF has run many workshops devoted to Venetian polychoral music
but many of the finest Renaissance composers worked in Rome for
at least part of their careers. They include Palestrina, Morales,
Victoria and Arcadelt. We shall be exploring some of the
lesser-known masterpieces from Rome, written in a somewhat different
idiom from those of Venice.
Dr David Allinson worked on some of the early music entries for
the Revised New Grove Dictoriary of Music. He runs the Westminster
Early Music Singing class and teaches at Oxford Brookes University
and elsewhere. He is Musical Director of the Esterhazy Singers
and of the Cantores chamber choir.
David has conducted several very successful workshops
for TVEMF and other fora.
