The next rehearsal of the Cantabile Renaissance band will be on
Tuesday, October 18 at 7:45 PM at my place.
This meeting is limited to the people planning to play our November
public performances. Those people should let me know in advance if
they won’t be able to come.
We’ll be working on firming up the playlist for the two sets. I’m
going to get the Greensleeves arrangements into E minor, and add the
hymnbook arrangement. I think with Dulcina, that will be enough
multiverse ballads, and the Babylon stuff has been cut from the script
they’re using anyway.
Here’s a slightly modified version of the last playlist we
published.
Before the play
- He that will an Alehouse Keep
- Dulcina
- O Portsmouth
- Quand je Bois
- All in a Garden Green, or Daphne, or maybe neither.
- Vignons, vignons
- Playford set, probably including Newcastle
- Fanfare, TBD
Intermission
- Greensleeves (This will include the “Division on a Ground”
version, maybe a couple of sung verses, and maybe the Charlton
arrangement for 2 recorders, although that’s pretty obviously
anachronistic. (So is the Division on a Ground, but by fewer
centuries.) - Fair Phyllis
- Silly Bees
- Shepherd in a shade
- Changeons propos
- Vive la Serpe
- Another dance set, probably Playford, suggestions welcome. The advantage of Playford is that we have 3-part
arrangements that some of us know pretty well. Since some of the
people who can play can’t play every performance, we want to keep this
as simple and fool-proof as possible.
We have volunteers who have offered to arrange a third part from
the keyboard arrangement to Dulcina, and to get some Playford
arrangements that are better for our purposes than the Marshall Barron
ones. This should happen in the next week or so, if it’s going to be
of maximum usefulness.
John Tyson says that it’s possible that he’ll have a Tuesday before
our gig, but he won’t know Tuesday the 18th. It looks like that’s
our best hope for having a coaching session.
