BGS Meeting 16th March 2024

Cornelius led the ensemble in three of the pieces we are working on towards our entry at the Reigate Festival in mid May.

  • Farewell to Stromness by Peter Maxwell Davis, arr. Cornelius Bruinsma. 

  • Valse Vénézuélienne, trad. arr. Thierry Tisserand

  • Questa Notte by Ludovico Einaudi

In the break, we had plenty of time for chatter over refreshments, kindly dispensed by Kate.

Tonight’s solos were played by -

Jim Merrily Kissed the Quaker (Irish jig)
Eduardo Nevere, Waltz in homage to Antonio Lauro (E Gonzales)
 Cantilena (E Gonzales)
Tom and Cornelius An Orkney Tune (Peter Maxwell Davis)
 Valse Poetico No.1 (E Granados)
Georgia Kinkachoo (Peter Houghton)
Cornelius A Short Train Ride (Jasper Smith)

To round off the evening, the ensemble returned to Questa Notte, paying particular attention to the wide dynamic range, and including one bar “silenzio” in all parts.
