[cantabile] Report on the March 29 rehearsal

Some decisions we made:

  • Clear or Cloudy isn’t ready for public performance. We will work
    harder on it next month, and I will try to get better underlay.
  • Anne’s voice works fine as an instrument in an instrumental
    setting.
  • The serpent isn’t ready to play 15 minute performances in settings
    where there’s no warmup time.

Transcription error

We discovered an error in the Tenor line of the Eb version of “The
Silver Swan”. The words “death ap-” in the second phrase should be
eighth notes not quarter notes. I will fix this all the places I
can. I think the 2004 book isn’t fixable, so if you print it out
again, do it from the
laymusic.org site.
