endeavour’d a just imitation of the most fam’d Italian Masters,”
and this year’s workshop considers the scope and
influence of Italian composers from Ciconia to
Monteverdi. There will be a wide range of sacred and
secular music to sing and to hear from the 15th to the
17th centuries, including some well-known names like
Palestrina, Allegri, Lotti, Monteverdi and Vivaldi, and
some less familiar such as Cozzolani and Massaino. The
workshop will take place at Washington National
