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.

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.

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’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

Again this week we already know that a couple of regulars won’t be here, so I would especially like to know by the time I go to bed tonight whether we have a quorum tomorrow. I will pass that information on as soon as I have it to other people who would like to know.

I’ve been kind of stuck on completing the unpacking of boxes, because I can’t move any of the ones that are left. So if one or two people who are stronger than I am could go upstairs to the computer room and move one or two unpacked boxes from their stacks to the the futons, it would be helpful.

It’s been a year since I moved back in, and 14 months since the boxes arrived, so I’m thinking it’s about time I had the use of all my rooms and of all the stuff that survived the fire/demolition/movers…
