returned.
John had found the music for two Mexican folk songs and encouraged us through sight
reading them - Las Mananitas, arranged by Eythor Thorlaksson and La Cucaracha
arranged by Jan-Olof Eriksson. Both looked fairly straightforward until changes of
key, off-beat rhythm, dynamics, and repeats had to be contended with.
Last session we worked on E Elgar’s Salut D’Amour. We returned to it and as we
found before off-beat rhythms proved tricky as did slowing down to a pause and then
resuming tempo.
Four solos were enjoyed after tea break refreshments provided by Trevor.
| Tom | Two traditional Scottish Airs (trad.) |
| Mike [debut] | Petit Air D’Argentine (F Kleynjans) |
| Eduardo | La Gatica (Lauro) |
| Toby | Elegy for a King (Frederic Hand) |
The evening was rounded off by playing again Las Mananita and Salut D’Amour.
