Due to utility outages in Texas, we are delaying the premiere of Episode 3 The Baroque Period until February 27 at 8:00pm CST

Think of this as a painless musicology movie, starring Meredith Ruduski and Sara Schneider! Fresh Take will highlight key aspects of the history of western music from around 1200 to 1750, utilizing music recorded by TEMP musicians for this production, as well as selected examples from TEMP’s CDs. Each episode (Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque) will include a quick historical, often hysterical, overview before launching into the musical examples, narration with humorous asides, catchy details, and engaging graphics that will be appealing to students of all ages.

UPDATE: Due to technical difficulties, we need to divide the content into three separate video episodes. The first episode, premiering Feb. 6, will cover the Medieval Period (around 1100 to around 1400). The second episode, The Renaissance Period, around 1430 to around 1600, will premiere February 13th. The third episode, premiering Feb. 20, will cover the Baroque Period (around 1600 to around 1750).
