Guillaume de Machaut: Rockstar of the 14th Century
THL Heinrich von Stuttgart
Heregyð Ketilsdóttir
Composer, poet and courtier Guillaume de Machaut’s fame, long career and prolific writing in his day rivals the Rolling Stones in ours. This class is a sight-reading jam session with some commentary about the composer and aspects of his works. Players will explore several of Machaut’s works that are musically interesting even if you don’t know French. The teachers are instrumentalists, but if singers attend who do read French, they are welcome to sing those tunes with lyrics. Audience welcome as space permits.
