Sheba R0391 Full Score (7 pages) Descant Treble Tenor Bass (Each part is two pages, larger print) This piece is aimed at our more experienced players - even at less than full speed it is a challenge particularly for the Descants and Trebles, so we will play this just a few times as a "for interest" item for you to join in only if you wish! It also makes a good study in nimble fingering, starting slowly (possibly just focussing on one or two bars) and then gradually speeding up:

2025 Events & Media:
We play annually for "Friends and Family", most recently on 6th October '24.
In December '24 we continued our tradition of playing Christmas music before and during the Southwell u3a meeting.
As usual, we have enjoyed several new pieces, and revisited old favourites. Each year, we also enjoy pieces prepared for our "Play Day" (our annual meet-up with the recorder groups from several other u3a organisations) and popular enough to retain for a longer period.
On our first 2025 session, 15 Jan, we sight-read, practiced and played a new piece for us, "Shchedryk" or "Carol of the bells", as this is traditionally played in Ukraine to mark the Ukrainian "Old New Year", 13th January. This has particular poignancy as Povrosk, the home town of its Ukrainian composer, Mykola Leontovych, was suffering heavy bombardment by Russian forces in the week that we were playing this piece. On our meeting nearest to the 24th February, the third anniversary of the invasion, we played "Ukraine's Glory", their National Anthem: Here are videos of us practicing these two pieces:
