The Oregon Renaissance Band will be playing the following concerts in 2012:

Sunday, April 29, 2012, at 2:30pm for Camerata Musica at the Salem Public Library, Salem, Oregon.
Friday, May 11, 2012, at 7:30pm at the Walters Cultural Arts Center in Hillsboro, Oregon.
Program: "All creatures now are merry minded."  It will consist of songs about animals by Banchieri and Bartlet, Bennet, Praetorius, and others for voices, violin, recorders, sackbutts, krummhorn, harp, spinettino, racketts, tartold, percussion, and some new extreme early instruments including zuffolo and violone.

 

Highly recommended book for anyone wishing to sort out the usage and history of early tunings and temperaments: "How Equal Temperament Ruined Harmony (and Why you should care)" by Ross Duffin of Case Western Reserve University from W.W. Norton & Co.  It is an entertaining treatment of the subject written with humor and great expertise.  Illustrations by Philip Neuman are included.
