UK premiere of Jonathan Impett's Apollo e Marsias (2019), for viola d’amore & installation.

This course provides a theoretical background to understanding the harmonic principles of Just-Intonation and the different temperaments that are currently in use in today’s performance practices. The classes will present students with practical insights, training methods and exercises to refine their ability to tune intervals and sequences of chords in relation to specific temperaments throughout history, from baroque to contemporary music. The aim of the module is to offer a more comprehensive understanding on the phenomenon of intonation, allowing the participants to develop and finely tune their aural skills with practical experiments and performances. Individual string players and pre-formed string ensembles are welcome.
