Preparation for our next session, Wednesday 27th Oct (Rik leading)
After our "Christmas Repetoire" launch on 13th Oct, we will continue to bring some existing pieces further up to "concert readiness" and add some more Christmas pieces:
Some pieces have been edited since we last played them. Some are new. Titles in brown can be downloaded and printed (click on the brown title OR the PDF further down the page). Titles in black cannot be downloaded. The links below give you the LATEST VERSIONS. Please download and print changed versions, plus any music you do not already have, so that you know you are playing the same edition as the rest of us. You may find it helpful to date music as you print it, to make it easier to check for any new or revised music in the future.
We plan to continue our look at Christmas music, alongside other old material, in this order:
1) Introduction to Recorder Consort
2-3) Past 3 o’clock and Unto is is born a Son – both arranged for us by Liz
4) Silent night – two versions provided by Rik, “Recorder Quartet” and “Fantasy”, which work as a pair.
Please search out your copies of these 4 items – if you can’t find them or haven’t got them, we have spare copies made by Roger, to hand out, so no need to print these (so not yet uploaded)
Other sizeable pieces which we have played before, but not necessarily this year, include:
5) Fragrance (Download if you need if before the meeting, but also already printed)
a) Fragrance for Descant b) for Treble+Tenor+Bass
6) We three kings (Terry Gill - will be printed out for us)
7) In Dulce Jubilo (Download if you need if before the meeting, but also already printed)
a) In Dulce for Descant+Treble b) for Tenor+Bass
We will then give Christmas music a break and move on to these:
8) Corelli's Gigue (1 August 2021) Note recent changes to Descant, Treble and Tenor, plus revised programme notes.
9) Brahms St Anthony Chorale (We played this just before lockdown, but updated after the 25th Aug meeting)
10) arr Williams Three Welsh Songs (New to us, dated Aug 13. NOTE - the first 8 pages are the full score. You may prefer to just print your own part, which will be around 3 pages) Note that Ian plans to revise the ending soon, so we will focus on the first two songs)
With thanks to Polly and David, we will break for refreshments around this point. When fed and watered we will continue with:
11) Susato's La Mourisque (June 2021) (with thanks to Liz)
12) Mendelssohn All Ye that Cried Unto the Lord (New to us, dated Sept 20)
13) Tallis O Nata Lux (New to us, undated)
14) Pachelbel Canon (direct from Ian, not for download)
We will then finish off with as many of our new Christmas pieces as time allows:
15) Have yourself a merry 'Minor' Christmas (andyblueskies)
16) White Christmas with Intro -andyblueskies
17) Christmas Song – andyblueskies
18) Les Anges arranged by Bernard Dewagtere
19) Terry Gill arrangement of French carol ‘Il est né’ (Improved scan emailed out to you before 27th)
Peeping ahead to our Repertoire for January 2022 onwards:
We will return to start several new pieces, plus have a revision and more detailed study of others from summer '21. If you have any special requests or pieces of music, please email these to Ian.
Given the amount of material we already have in mind, Ian has suggested that we file away these pieces to give room in our music cases:
Praetorius Ballet (May 2021) and
Susato Bergerette (May 2021)
Susato Ronde & Saltarelle (Pre 2021)
Looking even further ahead, we have loads more familiar and possible new music to choose from. Some is for the whole group, some for smaller ensembles, some accessible to all of us, and some that will challenge our more advanced players.
