What's the plan then?

So, I was watching a scene from the brilliant “Shaun of the Dead” for the 100th time, or so, and I had an idea! What if we made a musicology movie, but since ‘Shaun’ has already dealt with the Zombies and got his girlfriend back, we can leave out the drama and the Zombies? Instead, we’ll have humor, edu-tainment, music, and a lot more music. And some more humor. And then a little more music and a lot more humor. And still no Zombies.

Ok, that’s not really how the idea for our upcoming Fresh Take: Music History Reimagined video episodes got started, but it’s better than the real way.

“What do you wanna do?”
“Oh, I don’t know, what do you wanna do?”
“I dunno - hey, what if we make a musicology movie? We’ll have Sara Schneider and Meredith Ruduski in it! It’ll be great!”
“What’s the plan then?”

So, please join us for Fresh Take! (See all the deets below.) Guaranteed Zombie-free!

Fresh Take: Music History Reimagined

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 of the video (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).
