Claves sonantes
 

"Understanding through touch."

Claves sonantes (formerly "Fitzwilliam on tour") dedicated to the development and emancipation
of keyboard music in the Renaissance and Baroque periods,
offering the opportunity to explore works by lesser-known and anonymous composers.

Listening to and playing this beautiful music is a joy and provides inner balance.

« Comprendre par le toucher.»

Claves sonantes (anciennement « Fitzwilliam on tour ») se consacre au développement
et à l'émancipation de la musique pour clavier à la Renaissance et au baroque, offrant l'opportunité
d'explorer des œuvres de compositeurs moins connus et anonymes.

Écouter et jouer cette belle musique est un plaisir et procure un équilibre intérieur.

 In the interest of international cultural understanding,
there are initially three video portals or playlists on

Vokalensemble VIA MUSICA
On a Musical Journey

A choir was founded in Heidelberg in 1991 as a student initiative.
Co-founder Dr. Ludwig Karl gave the formation its name

Via Musica = musical journey.

The musical journeys of VIA MUSICA led programmatically through the Western European music nations of England, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany and France with their different characteristics. 
The Via Musica's repertoire focuses on Latin motets, masses and English anthems. 
Composers who represent this repertoire are T. Tallis, M. Vulpius, T. L. da Victoria, O. di Lasso, G. P. da Palestrina, E. de Brito and their lesser-known contemporaries. 
Via Musica is based on the exemplary English cathedral choir tradition and is to a certain extent committed to historical performance practice. 
The circle closed in 2023/24 with the publication of the two-part essay
A Bull, a Byrd, a Tallis | The Fitzwilliam Organ Book,
in: organ, Journal für die Orgel. The 2. part ist dedicated to Dr. Ludwig Karl.

After its first concert series, the choir was reduced to a vocal ensemble so that more demanding works could be performed. 
In 1995, Via Musica was relaunched in Schleswig-Holstein as a project with two concert series. 
No further projects are currently planned.
