Greetings!
We have the rental music ready to hand out this week. If you'd like to listen ahead (recommended), here is a link to the Suite Hebraique by Ernest Bloch, first movement Rhapsodie. The piece has no trombones or tuba, but it has harp and percussion, and the trumpet parts are in C (Fair warning). The parts are handwritten with clef and key signature only on the top line! Ridiculously lazy publisher if you ask me! It's a wonderful showcase of solo viola, but I may be biased in my opinion.
Please note that most of the music you have in your folders is extra tall. If you stick your hand down in the pocket in the folder, you'll find that there's a gusset down there that sometimes gets in the way of the music, so just be sure to put your hand in there and ease the music behind or in front of that gusset all the way into the pocket so we don't end up with music that's torn up on the top or the bottom. TLC is all I ask. :)
If we damage or lose even one part of the rental music, by the way, we are charged all sorts of fees. Be SO CAREFUL with this music, please!
