News of the Week of August 5, 2025

We played:

• Weelkes, Come, Sirrah Jack, Ho!
• Byrd: O Lord my God; Why do I use my paper, ink and pen
• Arcadelt, Je ne suis pas si sot
• Farmer, Fair Phyllis

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.

This week several people will be away at Pine Woods, so it’s particularly important that you not only let me know you want to come, but also let me know if you change your mind about coming.

The current warmup piece is Come, sirrah Jack, Ho!, transposed down a fifth.

If you’re coming, also let me know if you need me to print it for you.
