EMSV first meeting for 2025

 

Non-members: email emsvofvic@gmail for details of the meeting and venue.

 

Sunday 16th February, 2025, 2:30 pm Players’ afternoon 

Performances: Groups or individuals are invited to play a short item (3 - 5 minutes).

Let Lyn know if you want to perform, please email me prior to the meeting as only 5 slots are available

For performances, the harpsichord can be at A415 or A440 but please let Lyn know if it needs to be transposed to A415 prior to the meeting, otherwise it will be at A440.

 

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 after tea will be at A415 for 'soft' instruments and voices.

 

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.

Works to be workshopped include some that we didn't get around to at Christmas.
