Early music scores can often look ambiguous to a modern musician, raising questions such as which instrument should play which line? What difference will it make? What about those parts with names that don’t match the instrument I’m told to play? We’ll explore questions of relative pitch and pitch relationships between parts, deciphering what the score is actually telling you, and we’ll play a few pieces with ambiguous instrumentation to see what effect different choices can have. Prerequisite is the ability to read music (modern notation) in at least one clef, vocalists are welcome but this class is relevant primarily to instrumentalists playing in consort.
