Historical improvisation and diminution
Vicente Parrilla

Four masterclasses of 30 minutes for advanced or (pre)professional recorder players, fully focused on the art of diminution in the Renaissance. Participants are welcome to present their own improvisations or pre-composed divisions on 16th-century polyphonic music or ground basses.

He has recorded three CDs as More Hispano’s leader so far: Canzoni, Fantasie et Correnti (1998); Yr a oydo (2010) & GLOSAS (2011), making guest appearances on a number of recording projects, for labels such as Alia Vox Diversa, Glossa, Carpe Diem, Alqhai & Alqhai, Lindoro and CDM.
