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

We will be moving on from Now, o now, I needs must part soon, so any suggestions for a new warmup piece will be welcome. Meanwhile, make sure that you have done everything you want to with this one (played all the parts, used all the instruments you want…)

We played:

• Dowland, Now, o now, I needs must part
• Bransle X (That’s it’s name, so it’s probably the 10th bransle somewhere, but it’s also X because we don’t know where it comes from.)
• East: How Merrily we love, Turn round about
• Palestrina, Sicut cervus
• Dowland, If my complaints

We have sometimes skipped meetings on an election evening, because I work at the polls and can only rarely get home in time to participate. But this time people seem to be enthusiastic about getting together without me. So you should still let me know if you’re coming, but we’re expecting there to be a quorum.

• Arcadelt, Nous voyons que les hommes
• Josquin, Ave Maria
• Lassus, Bonjour, mon coeur
• Berg, Let us drink and be merry

We will be using Now, o now, I needs must part by Dowland for our warmup piece for a few weeks. Let me know if you’d like me to print you a copy.

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

Note that these days we have a designated warmup piece (currently Arcadelt, Nous voyons que les hommes) for a few weeks at a time. If you plan to come, and can’t print it out yourself, ask someone to do it for you. Normally I would say to ask me, but at the moment my printer looks completely normal, but is refusing to listen to either of my working computers.

No meeting. People were skipping off to other states, scheduling surgery, getting caught in work crunches…

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

We’ll be using the Arcadelt Nous voyons que les hommes for the warmup piece for the next couple of weeks. It’s a dropin group, so you can’t complain if people straggle in late, but if there are people sitting waiting to play, you should start playing. So we’ll try a three part warmup for a bit.

We played:

• Morley: I go before my darling; La Girandola
• Byrd, Of flatt’ring speech
• Entre vous qui aymés
• Byrd, O Lord my God
• Smith, Slaves are they that heap up mountains

The Boston Recorder Society Loud Band will be meeting again this year at Leslie College on mostly second Sundays of the month.

It was originally for early reed and brass instruments, but is now using the term “loud winds” very loosely. We expect a viiolin this year; there’s a recorder player who likes us better than what the recorders were doing even when they were doing anything; there are loud wintd players who don’t have the lip muscles to play all evening so they switch to recorders.

So if you’re interested, you should let Linda Kush know. If you want more information, ask me, Linda, John Maloney, or any of the other recent participants.

We played:

• Morley: Goe ye my canzonets
• Gervaise, Dix bransles de Champagne
• Jankins: Pavan in D minor; Pavan in E minor
• Lassus, Margot labourez les vignes
• Sermisy: Sur le pont d’Avignon; J’ayme le coeur
