Plans for the February 14 meeting

[cantabile] Plans for the February 14 meeting

We’ve now sung all the suggested Ingalls at least once. There are
still a few more that should be transposed before we start
working on them, but there’s no hurry. I’m doing
Fellowship for this week; anyone who gets ABC
transcription energy is welcome to do Millennium,
Judgement, or Experience. So we’ll be
doing two or three of those a week until we get our program
decided on.

We pretty much proved last week that this group as currently
constituted can’t just bomb through the Dowland
Lacrimae. I think we should learn Flow my tears
and Lachrimae Antiquae for the June gig, and try
the others again in a year or so.

Another Dowland group I’d like to put together is the Essex group.
We have the silly bees, and didn’t do too badly on O sweet
woods last week, so we’ll be trying Can she excuse
my wrongs The Earl of Essex Galliard.

We can do any Valentine’s Day requests tomorrow. I understand
that some people do things as a couple on Valentine’s Day, so if
you’re one of them, either convince your partner that this is
what you want to do as a couple, or we’ll understand if you miss
this week. There are enough of us who aren’t in couples that
I’m sure we’ll have a good time.

We will also be trying out other dream music and spring music.

Schedule

I don’t know of anything to interrupt the normal Tuesday drop-in
for the next month or so, so:

February 14
February 21
February 28
March 7

The performances we have scheduled are:

May 7, Walk for Hunger. If it’s the way it’s been the last
few years, the group will be playing from noon to about 3 (with
breaks), and people who want to do solo or small group sets in
the morning will be welcome
June 21, Dream music at Bridgewater State College.
July 22, Ingalls music in Vermont

There’s also tentatively a Boston Recorder Society Play the
Recorder Month event sometime this spring, but as far as I know,
nobody’s found a time and place for it.

We will be aiming to put together a program for the Walk for Hunger
by the end of March. Then I expect that the April rehearsals
will be limited to the people who want to play that program.
I’d like to include as much music from the dream program and the
Ingalls program as we can, without completely crowding out the
spring music and the Rivers of Watertown.
