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.
Our 2024 sessions are held on the third Saturday of each month . Do join in !
