The next rehearsal of the Cantabile Renaissance band will be on
Tuesday, August 30 at 7:45 PM at my place.
Last week Hope found us a Rameau drinking song that looks fun to
learn. It should help bridge the Purcell drinking songs into the 16th
century French ones, as well as giving us some practice on chromatic
harmonies that will help with the later Dowlands.
We also have postponed the last “Pilgrim’s Solace” piece for long
enough, so we’ll do it, regardless.
Requests are welcome. I’m thinking of a drinking group and a
shepherd/pastoral group for the Ciderfest performance, but we may want
to work in some dance music as well.
