Gabrieli Canzonas
A day workshop led by Philip Thorby
Saturday 14 February 2015 10.30a.m. – 4.30p.m.
Augustine United Church
41-43 George IV Bridge, Edinburgh EH1 1EL
Gabrieli’s 2 and 3 choir canzonas are masterpieces of polychoral music full of light and
shade, grandeur, dancing rhythms and singing melodies. During the course of the day we
will study, in depth, some of the finest of these. As well as conducting, Philip will give
some historical and musical background to this fascinating repertoire.
Philip Thorby is well known as one of the country's leading performers and teachers in
the field of Renaissance and Baroque music. He is founder and Director of the
Renaissance ensemble Musica Antiqua of London, which has remained at the forefront of
research-based performance of early sixteenth-century music.
As a recorder player, Philip's interests range widely. Two areas of special interest are
sixteenth-century divisions (elaborate instrumental works based on vocal originals) and
the music of early eighteenth-century London.
In addition to his past work at Trinity College of Music, where he was Professor of
Recorder and Senior Fellow in Early Music, Philip has worked in contemporary fields with
artists including Sir Paul McCartney, Barbra Streisand, John Taverner and David
Bedford. He teaches widely in England and abroad.
The workshop fee is £12. Drinks and biscuits will be provided, but please bring a
packed lunch. There are also cafés and restaurants within walking distance. All music
will be provided. Please bring a music stand.
