fantasia, fantasy, fancye, phansie … a musical term which has consistently signified freedom, an absence of structure.
This workshop will focus on developing our understanding and interpretation of these apparently wilful masterpieces ‘that stirs our blood, and raises our spirits, with liveliness and activity, to satisfie both quickness of heart and hand’ (Lord North, 1658)
We will spend our time playing and exploring three contrasting examples from this endlessly fascinating genre, all by Orlando Gibbons (of Silver Swan fame).
