Abstract
Ten vocal and instrumental pieces from the Renaissance and early Baroque have been selected and transcribed to provide a unique opportunity for high school band students. Through these transcriptions, students will gain historical perspective, including information about period instruments, composers and genres. Elements of music theory, style, and musicianship can be explored. The polyphonic quality of the Renaissance transcriptions will teach students to hear and perform independent melodic lines. Each transcription has been edited for modern instruments and concert band instrumentation. Musical elements (such as dynamics, bar-lines, and articulations) that are absent in the original pieces have been added so students can focus on developing the aforementioned musical skills and knowledge. Editorial considerations include text, melodic and rhythmic motives, and specifications for grade three publication.
