Class - 14th June

We were almost up to 'full strength' at this week's rehearsal...and we spent lots of time working on our large ensemble pieces...'Crown Imperial', 'Olympic Fanfare & Theme' and 'Serenade'...with all the expression added, they're beginning to sound good!

Small group items:
  • 'TheWitches Frolic' by Granville Bantock - Margaret, Mike & Helen
  • Sonata in G major by Fasch - Heather, George, Imogen & Joan
  • Sonata in D minor by Schickhardt - Judy, Diana, Kath & Angela
  • 'Dance of the Hours' by Ponchielli (from the 'Fairwind Foursomes' Arr. Terry Kenny) - Penny, Annabel, Theresa & Dermot
