NORVIS Choir – director Andrew Fowler

Music copies will be provided, so you don’t need to print or buy any scores.
Thomas Weelkes (?1576 – 1623): Alleluia, I heard a Voice

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750): Cantata no.39: Brich dem Hungrigen dein Brot
Heinrich Schütz (1585 – 1672) – Das is je gewisslich wahr
NORVIS Baroque Orchestra – director Chris Orton
Jean-Baptiste Lully (1632-1687) – Suite from Le bourgeois gentilhomme
Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750): Cantata no.39: Brich dem Hungrigen dein Brot (with the choir)
NOTE: Bach cantata 39 has parts for both treble recorders and oboes, but the Lully suite needs wind players to double the string parts.
NORVIS Baroque Orchestra welcomes wind players as well as strings. Players are invited to select the parts that they play. Oboes and flutes may need to choose from violin 1 and 2, and some transposition will need to occur when string parts go below your range. The conductor reserves the right, however, to re-distribute players to ensure a suitable balance across all parts. Bassoons can take the cello/basso line. Recorder players can choose to play on voice flutes or alto recorders, with the occasional transposition. We can accommodate a maximum of four recorder players per piece. Recorder parts are suitable for advanced players.
NORVIS Recorder Ensemble – director Peter Wendland
A range of multi-part and poly-choral music will be explored during the week, with some of it being performed at Friday’s concert.
Parts will be provided at NORVIS for use in the Recorder Ensemble.
