The Carolingian Guild of
Musicians and Jongleurs

General Information for Members

The Waytes page | The Quire page

Rehearsals

The Waytes practice on Monday evenings from 7:30 to 9 PM.

Practices are held at the home of Duke Vissevald & Countess Mara in Dorchester. Here are directions to their house.
Waytes rehearsals may be cancelled on the 1st Monday of the month, to avoid conflict with the barony's monthly Great Council (business) meeting.
When dance practice is in session -- currently weekly for a couple of months each spring & fall -- the Waytes occasionally play there; when they do this, their Monday practice of that week is usually cancelled (so this sometimes occurs during a Great Council week). Interested people should check with the Waytes Captain to learn when playing at dance practice will be happening.

As of this writing, the Quire does not meet on a regular schedule.

Schedule changes will be announced in advance to the Guild.

Communications

The Guild maintains its own online mailing list for internal matters, such as making arrangements to attend events that we will be performing at, or checking the interest level for a Guild or period-music related activity. This is a low-traffic list, not intended to be used for extensive chatting. Folk interested in being added to the mailing list are usually expected to first attend at least one rehearsal of the Waytes or Quire, although exceptions can be made for suitably good cause. Apply to the Waytes Captain or the Quire Manager to be added to the mailing list.

History

The Jongleurs' Guild is one of the oldest guilds in Carolingia, and is the only true guild mentioned in the original baronial charter. Our organizational history is explained here.

Music

Occasionally we find it useful to have versions of the music we will be performing accessible online. These can include lyrics, scores, and audible versions. They live here.
