The practice of applying new text to existing music is as old as music itself. Parody describes this technique, but we are left with many questions: Is it mockery? Is it cheating? What happens to the relationship between the music and its original text? Together we will explore the implications of parody in music and other art forms, and have some fun playing and singing through some Renaissance examples. For voices and instruments. Pitch: A=440.
