Good evening from our new house! Sorry to have delayed posting these notes, we've had a very hectic week of moving and sorting life out - such fun!
I was really pleased with Tuesday's rehearsal, and I'm very grateful for all of your hard work. Just at the start of these notes, can I just remind you to listen to the playlist to help familiarise yourselves with some of the harder music.
What we did on Tuesday 08.02.22
Fantastic work on Shearing Movement 2 - I feel as though this is in a very secure place already. Also great work on the Moeran Movement 1 and Movement 3. These are not easy songs, so to have made such a good start to two of the hardest movements is brilliant! It was good to sing through the bits of the Disley-Simpson, and I'm pleased that the confidence is growing with the style and the notes. Keep listening to the Moeran and the Disley-Simpson!
What we will do on Tuesday 15.02.22
Shearing: Movement 4. Not a hard movement, but it'll be good to secure the pitches and the style of the song.
Disley-Simpson: Building up the riffs and then introducing the melody.
Moeran: Movements 4 & 5, working on harmony and rhythm, before building up tempo and thinking about the style of the movements.
This week's listening:
