Oftentimes, there are only figments and fragments of a composer’s work that survive. Join Abraham Ross and Simon Poirier as they dive into unfinished works from early-baroque practices of contrapuntal improvisation.

The programme begins in the early baroque with a demonstration on the methods used by Gabrieli, Frescobaldi, and virtually every organist of the time: the instantaneous improvisation of imitative polyphony over chant melodies during to accompany the liturgy. Using original research on two Italian treatises, Abraham will perform several organ improvisations according to historical practice.
