There will be normal drop-in meetings for the next several weeks. We may need to skip September 19. So the next meeting will be Tuesday, September 5, at 7:45 at “my house”:http://www.laymusic.org/directions.html

h2. Last meeting

We played:

* Purcell, ??Allemande??
* Byrd, ??Susanna Fair??
* Senfl Tenor Lieder:
** ??Wohl Kumbt der Mai I??
** ??Wohl Kumbt der Mai II??
** ??Gottes Gewalt, Kraft und auch Macht??
** ??Rosina, wo was dein Gestalt??
** ??Sie ist, die sich hält gebührlich??
* Charlton, ??A Policeman’s Lot is not a Happy One??
* Gabrielli, ??Canzon II à 6??
* John Wilbye, ??Weep, weep mine eyes??
* Arcadelt, ??Il Bianco e dolce Cigno??
* Dowland, ??All ye whom Love or Fortune hath betraid??

The next meeting of the Cantabile Renaissance Band will take place on Tuesday, August 29, at 7:45 PM at my place.

I don’t know of any reason why we won’t be having our regular drop-in meetings for the next few weeks. The two election days (September 19 and November 7) are the only times in the next few months when I expect anything different.

We may continue to have 6-8 people for a while, so suggestions for five or six part music are welcome. I think there’s enough interest in the Gabrielli we’ve done at the last two meetings that we’ll continue that.

Last meeting

We played:

• Byrd Susanna fair
• 2 settings of Ein Feste Burg
• Gabrielli, Canzon II a 6
• Dowland group:
  • O sweet wood
  • Fine knacks for ladies
  • A shepherd in a shade
  • Clear or Cloudy
• Ravenscroft, He that will an alehouse keep

The next meeting of the Cantabile Renaissance Band will be on Tuesday, August 22, at 7:45 PM at my place.

We may continue to have a larger number of players than usual, so if there are 6-8 part pieces you’d like to play, let me know.

Last Meeting

We played:

• Andrew Charlton Krummhorn arrangements:
  • Almaine by Thomas Strangthfield
  • My Thing is my Own, from Pills to Purge Melancholy
  • Triste España
  • Bon Jour Mon CÅ“ur
  • A Policeman’s Lot is not a Happy One
• Giovanni Gabrieli:
  • Exaudi Deus for 7 voices or instruments
  • Canzon II a 6 from Canzoni e Sonata (1615)
• Susato group

The next meeting of the Cantabile Renaissance Band will be on Tuesday, August 15, at my place.

We will again be doing our usual drop-in stuff, possibly with an unusual cast of characters, since it’s August and some regulars can’t make it and some non-regulars can.

We will have an unusually large amount of sight-reading material, because Hope brought over five large boxes of music that she is no longer using for her CCAE coaching. So if there’s something you want to do that you think we haven’t been doing because we didn’t have the music, let me know, and I’ll pull it out if I run into it going through the boxes

Last Meeting

We played:

• Glogauer Liederbuch: Es solt ein man
• Gervaise, Dix Bransles Gays
• Guidiccioni, Il Bianco e Dolce Cigno
• Tye, two In nomine‘s
• Holborne group
  • 64. Galliard: As it fell on a Holy Eve
  • 53. [Pavan:] Last Will and Testament
  • 40. Galliard
  • 63. Galliard: The Fairie-round
  • 34. Muy linda
• Dowland, A shepherd in a shade
• Dowland, Come, ye heavy states of Night
• Let us drink and be merry

We’re going to be missing a couple of regulars (Anne and Ishmael), but some people who don’t come very often have said they’d come tonight. So it should be a good night for trying out a bunch of new stuff.

Last week we did all but one of the pieces in the new Swan Songs book, so we’ll try to do the last one.

We’ll be doing drop-in meetings on Tuesdays at the usual time and place for the forseeable future.

Last meeting

We played:

• Both Silver Swan rounds
• Gibbons, Silver Swan
• Dowland, Me, me and none but me
• Dowland, All ye whom love or fortune hath betraid
• Arcadelt, Il Bianco e Dolce Cigno
• Vecchi, Il Bianco e Dolce Cigno
• Ravenscroft, O my fearful dreams
