With the aid of baroque treatises and scores, we explore the general and specific theoretical and stylistic issues the rules of thumb of 17th- and 18th-century music, providing an historically-informed basis for the interpretive decisions we make as 21st-century musicians.

3 June 13, cont d Tafelmusik Baroque Summer Institute :00-4:00 Viola d amore workshop (Georgi) 2:00-3:00 Lecture: Tuning & Temperament for all musicians (Nediger) As singers and instrumentalists we are constantly challenged to sing or play in tune, a challenge that becomes more complex as we join forces in small or large ensembles. Nature further increases the challenge by giving us a system that precludes completely pure intonation. What does in tune mean in a baroque ensemble? What temperaments were used in fixed-pitch instruments such as keyboards during the baroque, and what influence do these temperaments have on the tuning of singers and players of other instruments? 3:15-5:15 Choir rehearsal: Gloria Choir (Taurins) 3:15-5:15 Grand Finale Orchestra rehearsal: Rameau (Lamon) 3:30-5:00 Continuo class Lute/Guitar & Harpsichord/Organ: Monteverdi (Harris) 3:30-5:30 Opera Workshop on solo scenes (Pynkoski) 4:00-4:30 Viola d amore drop-in (Georgi) DAY 5: Thursday, June 14, :50-9:50 Performance Practice: The Basics #4 (Taurins) 10:00-1:00 Opera Workshop #2 (Pynkoski) 10:00-12:00 Violin (Ahern, Lamon, Zacharias) 10:00-11:30 Viola (Jordan) Flutists, oboists, bassoonists, cellists, bassists, lutenists/guitarists & harpsichordists have private lessons in place of masterclasses.
