Collegium Musicum

Thank you, Julian Bream. #CollegiumMusicum889 https://youtu.be/pbORh3JaCGg

Enjoy this bit of nostalgia with me...

RIP, Julian Bream. #CollegiumMusicum889

RIP, Julian Bream (1933 - 2020) Bream's discovery of the lute and its repertoire in the early 1950s resulted in a lifelong devotion to the instrument, explored not just in solo repertoire but, for example, in his duo partnership with the tenor Peter Pears and via his own Julian Bream Consort. #CollegiumMusicum889... https://www.classical-music.com/news/

Julian Zimmermann discusses the trumpet’s use in battle. #CollegiumMusicum889 https://youtu.be/7TBv46lImTk

More of the Slide Trumpet, performed by three legends: Michael Laird, Crispian Steel-Perkins, and Mark Bennett. Mr. Bennett plays the Flatt Trumpet, a double-slide trumpet, specified by Henry Purcell for his Funeral Sentences, as heard here. #CollegiumMusicum889. https://youtu.be/Deivz0U7RBk

Need to access the chromatic scale in the lower register, but valves haven’t been invented. The Slide Trumpet is the answer. David J. Yacus performs on a Slide Trumpet based on the instrument depicted in the Cassone Adimari ((cir 1450) panel, by Giovanni di Ser Giovanni. #CollegiumMusicum889 https://youtu.be/rvxAz8XUdDc

Elisa Koehler introduces us to the Natural Trumpet (sans vent holes) as we continue our exploration of the early trumpet. She discusses crooks, bits and mouthpieces, in addition to providing demonstrations in this highly informative presentation. Much more to come. #collegiummusicum889 https://youtu.be/oHzJM7d8k4M

Collegium Musicum’s live programming is currently on hiatus, due to the pandemic. In order to continue the enjoyment and sharing of this special music that we love, I’ll posting videos, with the occasional live stream, exploring different themes. We now begin an exploration of the trumpet! #CollegiumMusicum889

Today, we begin an exploration of the trumpet! The remarkable Alison Balsom demonstrates the differences between the Baroque and modern trumpet. Have you ever wondered why replicas of Baroque instruments have small holes incorporated into the tubing? Alison explains that too! Enjoy and learn! #CollegiumMusicum889 https://youtu.be/b24w_ykmwD4

We're LIVE! Tune in for a program of Baroque orchestral repertoire, with special guests Ingrid Matthews and Rachell Ellen Wong!
