News of the Week of November 19, 2024

We played:

• Dowland, Now, o now, I needs must part
• Palestrina, Sicut cervus
• Dowland: Lachrimae Antiquae; Semper Dowland, semper dolens; Sir John Souch; Mistress Nichols almand

Thanks to Ishmael for taking notes.

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

I tried to find a good three part warm up piece. So we’ll use Linda’s suggestion of the Praetorius “Es is ein ros entsprungen”.

We don’t (yet) have unbarred parts for this, but it’s pretty four-square most of the time, so we’ll start out with Alan Garvin’s excellent edition at IMSLP. Note that the middle parts are in both C and G clefs, so if you don’t want the C clefs, print only pages 1,2,4, and 6, or you will be wasting paper and ink.

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