Bordun music with Anna Rynefors
In this song workshop, which focuses on drone music, you'll get a quick introduction to ornaments, stylistic features and the constant presence of the drone/basic tone. All instruments are welcome, but extra focus is on drone instruments such as bagpipes, harpsichords and old harps. Song learning takes place by ear. Basic keys: G-D.
The workshop will take place digitally in the program Zoom. You will receive a link by email shortly before the workshop.
