During the five-day programme the participants will become acquainted with the chants of the mediaeval Esztergom Rite, as well as the repertoire and performance practices of 15th–16th century Renaissance polyphonic music.
Participants will receive tuition individually or in small groups, attend lectures, join in choral singing and take part in actual liturgical events and concerts held during the course.
The course is open to early music fans and persons wishing to join in liturgical practices, and offers the opportunity to practising musicians, church musicians and teachers to acquire new knowledge and experience; indeed, we believe it to be particularly useful for anyone seeking to develop their knowledge or to test and deepen their knowledge.
Vocal training, the Gregorian repertoire liturgical practice, Renaissance polyphony, performance practice and liturgical organ playing are brought together in four modules during the course.
