The rules of the canon become more complex in the Baroque era, culminating in J.S. Bach’s The Art of the Fugue. We’ll play excerpts of simple canons by Dominico Gabrielli and Telemann while discussing phrasing and articulation choices that help bring out the lines when being played as a duet. We will also take a look at some excerpts of more complex canons to understand how masterful the art of creating a canon is! Music and mp3s you can play along with will be provided.
All instruments welcome at A=440.
The San Francisco Early Music Society has moved its Baroque, Medieval/Renaissance, and Recorder summer workshops online.
