Director: Adjunct Professor Margaret
Panofsky
The Collegium Musicum Viol Program is a
branch of the FAS Music Department Collegium Musicum. It is open to
music students from the entire university.
Beginning students from all departments are encouraged to study the
viol (viola da gamba). The only requirements for beginners are previous
vocal or instrumental training (on any instrument), and solid
musicianship skills. All registered students receive weekly private
lessons and participate in a viol ensemble once they attain a degree of
proficiency on the instrument. Students have access to fully outfitted
viols from the Noah Greenburg Collection. At present, there are
sufficient viols for two consorts.
In addition, students may sometimes play with the university's advanced
viol ensemble, an accomplished concert-giving group that presents at
least one recital every semester under the name "The Teares of the
Muses" (tearesofthemuses.com).
"The Teares of the Muses" plays all major Renaissance and Baroque viol
repertoires, with English consort music predominating. The ensemble
often collaborates with other departments of the university, and
occasionally represents NYU off-campus by giving non-profit
performances.
The Collegium Musicum is open to both undergraduate and graduate
students. It is listed as course G71.1001 in the fall semester and
G71.1002 in the spring semester. In order to register, please contact
the FAS Department of Music at 212-998-8300 for an access code.
