Plans for December 27 meeting

[cantabile] Plans for the December 27 meeting

The next meeting of the Cantabile Renaissance Band will be on Tuesday,
December 27, at 7:45 at my place.

Note that this week we decided that the party on Sunday counted as
a meeting, so you are encouraged to attend one of the many
concerts that are happening this week instead. I’ll be going to
the Renaissonics
concert and CD release party at First Church in Cambridge.

Party recap

It was as usual a very good party. Thanks to those who came, and
commiserations to those who had other commitments which
prevented them from coming. More food was left over than
usual, so we’ll be eating better than usual after the next few
rehearsals.

Nobody brought us any new Christmas music to try, although there were
a couple of suggestions for things to add to the book, which I
have now forgotten. So if you want your idea in the MMVI
addendum, either tell me about it, or bring it to one of
the next couple of rehearsals.

Meeting plans

I don’t know of any reason not to have regular drop-in meetings for
the next several weeks.

Both December 27 and January 3 are within the Christmas season, so
we’ll probably do at least some Christmas music on both of those
dates.

We’ve started learning some dream-music for the June performance.
We’ve also been running through the new Ravenscroft rounds that
Bonnie’s transcribing for us.

We have a list of Jeremiah Ingalls pieces that Tom Malone thinks
would lend themselves well to our group’s forces, so we will be
running through those over the next few weeks, to select the
ones we want to perform in July. If you have the Ingalls book,
please bring it to rehearsals. If you don’t have it and want
one, let me know, or order one from Tom directly. I would like
everyone who performs to have a legally purchased copy; we will
be xeroxing a small number of copies for drop-in players.

Group information

I’ve added a number of people to the list over the last few weeks,
so here’s what you need to know to find out about our schedule.

The group information page is at windband.html.
This includes pointers to the FAQ, and
the blog.

I used to send email to the whole list after every meeting,
describing what we played and announcing when the next meeting
would be. The list is quite large, and at any given point only
a few people are coming regularly, so I now put all that
information up on the blog (often as two entries; a
report describing the last meeting, and a
plans entry for announcing the next meeting). I
attempt to email the whole list when the schedule changes in any
major way, but otherwise just email the regulars. I assume
anyone else who’s interested in what’s happening can look at the
blog, or email or phone me.
