Grace Notes

Volume I

February 2024

Welcome to Grace Notes, a New Publication from Upper Valley baroque!

In the spirit of deepening our understanding of Baroque and Early Music, as well as our sense of community, we are initiating a publication for audience members and others interested in learning more.  Part newsletter, part magazine, we hope you enjoy it.  And we look forward to hearing from you!

We plan to publish three times a year, just ahead of each Masterwork concert in UVB’s season.  It will be available in both print and digital editions.

We have named this publication Grace Notes  In fact, grace notes–a familiar musical term– were NOT a feature of Baroque music.  However, much of Baroque music was based on dance forms, which have a graceful style.  And “notes” can be thought of both musically and as short messages. 

Interested in a hard copy?

A limited number of hard copies of Grace Notes are available. Please email us to inquire about getting your own, or download a PDF version by clicking the button below.
