I'm curious to know what you'd like to keep up, commit to practicing as part of our regular repertoire. I know not everyone has played everything, but give me some feedback none-the-less, if you plan to partake of either ensemble this fall. (yes, there will be Xmas as well as a piece of two of new non-Xmas music, and more new stuff in the spring)
on line rehearsal Jan 20, 2022

and possibly others - bring and suggest your favourites. All are welcome, even if you don't regularly play in the ensembles. Including kids and teens. We shall celebrate with a grand harp sound. As long as the Covid rules don't bite us - so be good so we can!
---------------------------------------------------------
newest version of the audio files (these are jut the part alone, unlike in the one I posted earlier which has all the parts, with the named one louder. harp 1 harp 2 harp3 harp 4
new score for harp 2 (about 8 measures changed in the middle)
note the typos I fixed the last kick - I had forgotten I had done this!
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Canon in D - Errata -
I've discovered a couple of typos in harp 1 and 1a m49 last half note in the measure for those parts is E not D
---------
Canon -
some midi files which are just computer generated, but I've upped the volume on various parts. So you can listen to yours at a louder volume while you play along, or you can play yours against a different part louder. Mostly this is for folks who have had trouble getting the rhythms sorted. half notes, quarters, eighths and sixteenths all have their place!!
----------------
Requerdos - Heard today that someone in the ensemble got a downloadable version from Sharon Thormalen. Email her if you need a book
---------------
Dream Habanera is up for our next rehearsals. here is the corrected bridge page. As we worked on it in September, all will improvise on these chords. a few passing tones are acceptable. Later, we will work on how we will do it for performance, but first, everyone needs to be comfortable with the basic improv.
----------------------
Also on the list (and email me if you are missing a part)
Polca del norte
Westcoast Gavotte
Siciliana
The swan - will be on for Duncan as well, if we can get a good handle on the rest of the material.
Can-Can (this may be a Nanaimo only part, but if we don't have to labour too much on the others we'll add it in Duncan as well.
