Vicki Boeckman: Fantastic Falconieri

Presented by San Francisco Early Music Society

Vicki Boeckman, Course Instructor

Fantastic Falconieri 

We know little about Andrea Falconieri other than he was a highly regarded lutenist in his day and that his music is fantastically fun to play! Lucky for us recorder players, while not specified for us, his music fits the ranges of our instruments perfectly. We’ll start with a quick brush up on articulation that will help us express his music as best as we can, and then plunge into a couple of lighter works from the 1616 collection called Il primo libro di Villanelle before moving on to larger works - the passionate Passacalle, and the wild and energetic Battalla de Barabaso Yerne e Santanas from his Primo Libro de Canzone, Sinfonie, Fantasie…from 1650. Guaranteed to put a smile on your face!

Recorder and string players intermediate and up welcome.
