MUSIC SUPPLIES
Some courses have specific music that you need to buy in order to take part. We suggest that you try to use the exact edition suggested by the conductor, otherwise you may find rehearsals more difficult to follow, or need to mark in changes and cuts.
Please bring your own repertoire for instrumental classes, vocal classes and Chamber Music. In some cases, guidance on repertoire is offered in the course description.
A list of music for courses with specific repertoire will be available here from early 2023, and will be regularly updated, so please keep an eye on this page in the run up to the summer.
All music listed is available from Anne Jordan at Brian Jordan Music either in advance, or at the Summer School.

Choir music
Week 1 Big Choir

All the repertoire for Robert Hollingworth’s course will be available in one booklet, that will be available to buy at Dartington Music Summer School, including: Monteverdi/Soriano: Ave Maris Stella, Biber: Credo & Agnus Dei, Ugolini: Quae est ista, and Benevoli: 4 Choir Mass (TBC).
Week 2 Big Choir & Semi Chorus
with John Butt
The preferred edition for the Bach: B Minor Mass is Bärenreiter, edited by Smend. This is for sale by Anne Jordan at Brian Jordan Music.
Big Choir (Session 1) participants will concentrate on the movements indicated in the Bach B Minor information sheet.
Semi-Chorus (Session 2) participants will sing the work in it’s entirety. We therefore recommend you also sign up for
the Big Choir in Session 1, as the larger tutti movements will be rehearsed then.

The preferred edition for the Rossini Stabat Mater is Carus. This is for sale from Anne Jordan at Brian Jordan Music.

In 2016 I re-shelved the vast choral (mixed/female/male, accompanied/unaccompanied) and chamber (instrumental repertoire, duos, trios, quartets, quintets+ with/without piano etc.) music sections. The large hardback section (piano, full scores etc.) is underway. The ever-growing Dartington Summer School section (largely more contemporary but also useful multiple copies of Italian Madrigals etc.) will follow. I am postponing the chaos of the miniature scores as long ad infinitum!) By Summer School 2017 Nicola Smith and I hope to start a stock-take (yes we have multiple copies of the Mendelssohn Octet, no I can’t find the missing Horn part of the Brahms Trio) and decide how to tackle the dreadful e-catalogue and the hopelessly out-dated hard catalogue. Currently the best catalogue is the one in my head – so ask me anytime please!
