The Classical Style

The Old Rectory, Tattingstone, near Ipswich, Suffolk

Friday 30^th June-Sunday 2^nd July 2006

The House

The Old Rectory is a Georgian (1823) Grade II listed building set in two acres in the small country village of Tattingstone, five miles south of Ipswich. The house is very close to Constable country - Flatford Mill, Dedham, Pinmill, Woodbridge, Snape and Aldeburgh are all nearby. The surrounding Suffolk countryside offers gently undulating farmland, while the extensive coastline and its many estuaries provide a varied landscape, a wealth of wildlife and many natural attractions.

The rooms are spacious and comfortable, many with en suite facilities, and original features abound.

 

The course

The weekend is designed as an informal house party.  Guests need only the ability to enjoy music. No technical knowledge will be required.

The course will be led by Terry Barfoot who writes widely on music for Britain's leading journals, orchestras, festivals and record companies. He lectures at venues throughout the country and is Publications Consultant to the Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra.

 

The weekend

Course members will arrive on Friday at 5pm and depart after tea on Sunday. However, for those wishing to depart on Monday, a buffet supper and overnight accommodation will also be available on Sunday for a nominal extra charge. Arts in Residence offers an excellent cuisine including a four course dinner with wine each evening, and a traditional Sunday lunch.

 

Cost:     £255.00 to include all meals, wine, beverages, course fees and accommodation.

            Cheques payable to Arts in Residence

Booking:    Arts in Residence, 25 Mulberry Lane, Cosham,  Portsmouth, PO6 2QU

THE CLASSICAL STYLE

 

  The Viennese Classical style lies at the very heart of the musical repertoire and is dominated by the work of five great composers: Joseph Haydn, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Giovanni Paisiello, Ludwig van Beethoven and Franz Schubert. We shall investigate the rich repertoire of wonderful music by these composers, including some famous pieces as well as others which are not so well known but no less fine.
