Trio Rossignol
Trio Rossignol: Patricia Petersen, Karen Cook, and Douglas Young
Trio Rossignol is an ensemble of specialists in music of the medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods. Their instrumental resources include shawm, cornetto, curtal, gemshorns, krumhorns, pipe & tabor, Renaissance flutes, hurdy-gurdy, and more than a dozen sizes and kinds of recorders. Rossignol performs music ranging from rollicking Renaissance songs to exciting medieval dances to lyrics of lost love. Patricia Petersen, director, plays and teaches recorder and other early woodwinds, early instrumental and choral music, Renaissance notation, and English country dance. Well-versed in the style and repertory of the medieval, Renaissance, and baroque periods, she has a special passion for the intricacies of late 14th- and early 15th-century notation and music. Karen Cook is currently a current doctoral student in the music department of Duke University. She plays a variety of brass, percussion, and early wind instruments, and sings in the Duke Collegium Musicum and in various small ensembles around Durham. She is the organizer of the Duke Recorder Consorts, and splits her research between the Renaissance and the 20th century. Douglas Young plays all sizes of recorders, cornetto, shawms, and curtals. He sang in the Renaissance a capella ensemble, Fortuna, for 15 years, and played cornetto in the early brass quintet, The Carolina Waits. An accomplished banjo player, Doug shares a passion for the music and notation of the late 14th and early 15th centuries with a deep love of old-time Southern string band music.
