Here is the updated music list for the Spring Concert:
March of the Belgian Paratroopers
Old Churches
Rhosymedre
Amparito Roca
Harlem Nocturne (Jazz Ensemble with Dr. Renter)
Daydreams (with Dr. Renter)
Rondo for Wind Band and Solo (with Dr. Renter)
Country Call
Rolling Thunder
Our next rehearsal is on Tuesday, April 21. We should have our new music by then so we will begin rehearsal on that. In order to rehearse Harlem Nocturne with the jazz ensemble, I'd like to dismiss everyone but saxes, trumpets, trombones, percussion and Bonnie on piano by 9:10. The score calls for guitar and bass so if anyone is interested in giving it a shot, please let me know.
Also for our next rehearsal, we will work on Rhosymedre by reviewing the 3 different lines (hymn tune, obbligato, bass line) and also focus on expressivity and intonation.
We will work the first section of the Country Call so PLEASE have your parts learned for then. We will also begin working on March of the Belgian Paratroopers. Again, please have your parts ready for then.
Remember:
PRACTISE to REHEARSE,
REHEARSE to PERFORM
REHEARSE to PERFORM
How complicated is the guitar part? Cords or Picking?
ReplyDeleteI really have no idea because I don't have the music yet. I can say with some confidence that it would be chords, not picking.
