Today was a great rehearsal. I missed playing along, but it has been great to sort music and listen. I knew it was going to be a stupendous day when I saw a young man with a trombone... and then it only got better and better. Thank you for your dedication and for just being awesome people!
Today we collected the Berlioz Hungarian March from the Damnation of Faust and Holst's Somerset Rhapsody. If you missed today and still have them in your folder, please turn them in to me next week. It was interesting to sight-read them last week, but we are putting them away in favor of the pieces we handed out this morning.
Finlandia by SibeliusBlue Tango by Leroy Anderson
We also handed out the New World Symphony by Dvorak, which we will use (likely 2nd and 4th movements) for the April concert.
Next Week, December 15th
