I think they did Christmas hymns and Holborne before I got
there. Then we played:

News of the week of December 6, 2011

Meeting report

We played:

  • Hymns celebrating the spring weather we’ve been
    enjoying
  • Holborne
  • Cavendish, Come, gentle swains
  • Rore, Mia benigna fortuna
  • Ravenscroft, To Portsmouth

Schedule

We have resumed our every week dropin meetings on Tuesdays at 7:45 PM at my place. Anne has
kindly volunteered to arrive on time and let people in next week,
December 13,
when I’ll be running a special primary to replace Warren Tolman in
the state senate.

Party

This year’s Christmas party is on Sunday, December 11, at 4 PM
at my place.

If you know that you’re coming and what you’re bringing, let me
know, so I can coordinate. But please come at the last minute
even if you haven’t told me, and don’t have time to cook
anything. Potato chips and bottles are good contributions to a
potluck, and don’t need coordination since if more people
bring them than eat them, we just won’t open them all.

Invite your friends, especially if you know people who might be
interested in joining our group. There’s a printable
invitation
if you want hard copy to give them.

Meeting report

We played:

  • Thou God of all, whose spirit moves to
    Old 22nd from the Anglo-Genevan Psalter
  • Jouissance je vous donnerai
  • Je ne suis pas si sot bergere
  • Entre vous qui aimez
  • Ne l’aria in questi di fatt’ho un si forte Castel,
  • Tanto mi piacque
  • Cider Round

Report on November 1 meeting

We played:

Schedule

The good news is that we’re going back to a weekly schedule,
except for a few interruptions. The Morley rehearsals, which have
been preempting these rehearsals have now moved to Thursdays,
except when someone can’t make Thursday, in which case they will
still preempt the Tuesday dropin rehearsal.

The bad news is that two of the interruptions are in the next
two weeks.

So we will not be meeting next week, November 22, when we can’t meet on
Thursday because it’s Thanksgiving.

We can’t meet on Tuesday, November 29, because one of the
Morley performers can’t make the Thursday rehearsal that week.
However, if there’s interest, we could hold a dropin meeting on
Thursday. Let me know if you’d come if we did that.

The two weeks after that, December 6 and 13, are fine for
rehearsals, except that someone else will have to get them started
because they’re having a special election in part of Cambridge,
and I’ll be working at the polls.

Meeting report

We played:

Schedule

For the moment, we continue our every-other-week dropin
meetings at 7:45 PM at my place. So
the next one is November 1 (maybe not too late for Halloween
songs) and the one after that is November 15.

Schedule

We continue our open drop in meetings every other week. So we
will be meeting on October 18 and November 1.

If you need to know whether a particular Tuesday is an open
drop in meeting, use the
calendar.
The link is also on our page.

Ciderfest

The Boston Wort Processors
will be hosting the annual Ciderfest
on Sunday afternoon, October 16, at Carlson Orchards in
Harvard, Massachusetts.

A few of us have usually gone and played and sung for a while.
If you’d like to go, let me know by Tuesday, October 11, and I
will sign you up as my guest. There doesn’t seem to be a charge
for coming, but people are expected to bring a side dish, so if
you know what you want to bring, tell me. Also tell me if you’d
like to buy any cider at $3/gallon. You have to bring your own
container.

Meeting report

We played:

Schedule

Starting this month, the dropin portion of the group will move
to an every other week schedule, so that a few of us can work on
a concert performance of the Morley Canzonets for 2 voices.

We will be meeting on September 6 and 20, but not on
September 13 and 27.

When they happen, the meetings will be on Tuesdays at 7:45 PM
at my place.
