General Information

I like sight-singing Renaissance motets, as well as singing pretty much any other music.

Contact Information

E-mail: motets2008 a t stuy.users.panix.com

If You're in the SF Bay Area

I organize occasional get-togethers for 4-8 singers to do advanced Ren motet sight-singing for fun. These are aimed at singers who can read a Ren motet correctly on the first try (alone on their part) without sounding like they're searching for the notes or getting lost; occasional fleeting errors are only human. We generally sing each piece only once. Singers are usually at the pseudo-professional or professional level; the sound varies based on who is attending and is different every time. We meet in Berkeley on a weekend afternoon or else in downtown SF on a weeknight. Each date is a separate one-time commitment.

E-mail motets2008 (at) stuy.users.panix.com and tell me about yourself if you'd like to find out more and/or get added to the invites list (I generally bring in only one new person per session, maximum, sometimes zero, though I sometimes organize a session where we have primarily new people).
