EMSV PLAYERS’ / SINGERS’ MEETING

 

Sunday 11/10/2026 – 3.00 pm – EMSV Players’ meeting

Non-members: Email emsvofvic@gmail.com for the address.

 

ONLY if it is dry, park on the lawn at the top of the driveway, by the stone wall, and enter from the veranda.

If it is wet park on the driveway as someone got bogged last meeting.

Leave the driveway for people with mobility issues. Do not park under the large tree as it drops limbs.

 

All WELCOME - singers / instrumentalists can participate in the group playing, but instruments must be of authentic style for the period. The pitch for the afternoon for general playing will be A440 (modern). All vocal parts will be doubled by an instrument.

 

MUSIC TO BE PLAYED/SUNG.

General playing/singing - music will be supplied in a variety of clefs. The music is for voices and instruments, and all vocal lines are doubled by at least one instrument so you can sing beside 'your' instrument.  There will usually be many players/singers per part.

 

This is an all-Mexican baroque programme.  Works to be workshopped will include:

• Hernando Franco – Salve Regina a5 (not on ChoralWiki)
• Hernando Franco – Sancta Maria a5
• Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla – Exsultate justi in Domino a8
• Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla – Stabat mater a4

• Francisco López Capillas – Aufer a nobis
• Manuel de Zumaya – La bella incorrupta

 

If you want a sneak preview of the music to be played most of it is on the web site Choral public domain (CPDL).  All pieces have a rehearsal keyboard part available.  If there is more than 1 keyboard player, take it in turns to play.  Any queries ring or text Jim Bland 0407 780 143 or email emsvofvic@gmail.com .
