News of the Week of June 4, 2024

• Sermisy: Tant que vivray
• Byrd: Of flatt’ring speech; Haec dies
• Bennet, All creatures now are merry
• Sumer is icumin in

Thanks to Pace for taking notes.

We meet on Tuesdays at 7:45 pm, at 233 Broadway, Cambridge, MA. Let me know if you want to come.

We have decided it’s time to move on to something else, so we will say goodbye to Tant que vivray, maybe by playing several orchestrations.

And we will start the new warmup piece, Scaramella. It’s a little bit more polyphonic than what we’ve been using for warmup, but it does have lots of cadences for working on tuning, and it’s a good piece for crumhorns and other raucus instruments.

Let me know if you need me to print one for you.
