[cantabile] Report on August 30 meeting

We played:

• Dowland group:
  • Flow my tears
  • A shepherd in a shade
  • Cease these false sports
  • Burst forth my tears
  • It was a time when silly bees could speake
• Fair Phyllis
• Drinking songs:
  • Vive la serpe
  • Vignons vignons
  • Let us drink and be merry

The Wort Processor’s Ciderfest will be on October 15 at Russell
Orchards in Ipswich. We will be deciding what to play over the next
couple of weeks, and to do that we need to know who will be playing.
Let me know as soon as you can if you’d like to play. There will be
at least one and possibly as many as three compulsory rehearsals for
this performance.

There is also a strong possibility of a gig in November playing in
conjunction with a production of “The Merry Wives of Windsor” at Theatre First in Davis
Square. I’ll be talking to them about repertoire, etc. next week.
The easy thing would be some drinking songs and Playford dances, but
if we wanted to get fancy, there’d be a possibility of a “rivers of
Babylon” and/or a Susannah group, since both of those are referred to
in the play. In any case, start thinking about whether you would want
to do a gig on November 11-13 and 17-19.
