SUMMER TEXAS TOOT (ARS)
Texas Women's University,
Denton, TX
May 25-31
Director Daniel Johnson
The Summer Texas
Toot is a one-week program of classes in
Renaissance and Baroque music at all levels
for recorders, viols, singers, plucked
strings, Renaissance reeds and brass, and
harpsichord. Our classes include an array of
small, one-on-a-part Renaissance and Baroque
ensembles and larger mixed vocal and
instrumental groups. The size of the workshop
enables us to create classes for all levels of
students, from those of modest skills to
advanced players and singers.
Same Texas Toot hospitality and tradition, new
location! This year's Summer Toot will be held
on the beautiful campus of Texas Women's
University in Denton. Classrooms, dining, and
dorm accommodations are air-conditioned and
easily walked. Denton is a lively college
town with two major university--TWU and the
University of North Texas. It's an easy trip
to attractions in bustling Dallas or
culturally vibrant Fort Worth. Boulder Early
Music Shop will be in residence at the Toot
with sheet music, instruments, CDs, and more.

EARLY MUSIC WEEK AT PINEWOODS
CAMP (ARS)
Pinewoods Camp, Plymouth, MA
June 26-July 3
Director Sarah Mead
A Garden of Earthly
Delights
The Renaissance Lustgarten -- or
Pleasure Garden - was both a place and an
ideal, a source of recreation and renewal for
the mind and the senses. In 1601, Hans Leo
Hassler published his influential
Lustgarten neuer teutscher Gesäng, a
collection of musical delights; and the image
of Jacob van Eyck and "his little flute"
playing for evening strollers, is immortalized
in Der Fluyten Lust-Hof, which first
appeared in 1646. This summer, explore the
music and dance of the Pleasure Garden, where
the language of flowers and birdsong served to
inspire the musicians and poets of an earlier
age at Pinewoods Camp a modern day place of
earthly delights.
Early Music Week provides musical challenges
for players and singers at every level, from
the highly experienced to those who are just
getting their feet wet. Advanced and
intermediate-level players and singers have a
wide range of classes to choose from, taught
by skilled professionals in the fields of
early winds (recorder, reeds and brass),
strings (viol, violin, harp, and lute),
harpsichord and voice.
Some people are drawn to Early Music Week
through their love of dance or the sounds of
ancient music. If you have never played an
instrument -- or your musical skills are a bit
rusty -- there are classes designed to get you
started. There are daily classes in English
country dance, as well as nightly dances for
all. And singers can join the chorus or take
part in smaller mixed ensembles.
Early Music Week at Pinewoods has a long
tradition of skilled teaching in a supportive
community, enhanced by special events,
presentations, concerts and -- of course --
dancing. Advanced musicians can work
intensively, amateurs are challenged and
engaged and beginners are always made to feel
welcome.
Two clear ponds for swimming and boating,
cabins nestled in the forest, wonderful fresh
food and a warm welcoming community of
long-time attendees and newcomers alike make
Pinewoods a wonderful place to spend a week
improving your skills.
