AMU 018 - Early Music Ensemble

Course Units: 0

The Early Music Ensemble, open to both singers and instrumentalists, is devoted to the study and performance of music from the Middle Ages through the Early Viennese Era. Participants play on both modern instruments and reproductions of historic instruments, including the harpsichord. Emphasis is placed upon historical performance practices, as described in music treatises and other documents and as understood by scholars and performers today. The Ensemble, open by audition, rehearses twice a week. See Professor McMullen.
