Kevin Sutton: >By the way, we don't discuss choral music nearly enough around here. >Surely I am not the only choral freak on this list? Am I? Anyone? >Helloooooooo. Many people are of opinion that I'm a plain freak, so I suppose that I'm half in the way. The fact is that since some months ago I became a practical "choral freak" (i,e: I'm perpetrating some works of Tallis and Bach with a group of singers) and I'm very happy with this new adjective. I love Renaissance music, but being a violinist doesn't provides you many occasions for playing it...so, I dared to sing. Recently, I've transcribed a "frottola" from a source of XV century, and a Kyrie of Josquin (from a manuscript of the Vatican Library), and I'm editing them for rehearsal with this group. I would like to play medieval music also, but my poor voice is not trained enough for it. Unless I learn the "vielle" or some other instrument, my aims on medieval music will remain purely theoretical. However, the point is that you're not alone, Kevin. Pablo Massa [log in to unmask]
