Le Tombeau de Couperin (Menuet)

We're playing an arrangment of this for flute choir. It was originally composed for piano. I like this orchestral version:



In flute choir, the piccolo gets most of the oboe's line. It's really pretty - the whole thing is beautiful. The first night we played it, I was having trouble hearing it and understanding what I was hearing. I really thought I was in the wrong key. It could be that I was out of tune. I need to play my piccolo more! Last night we worked on pitch and being in tune; I think we're getting there. I hope people weren't getting bored, because it is so hard to play when we're out of tune, and it's really important to work on it.
I'm looking forward to working on this!

Overture to the Marriage of Figaro

I've been thinking a lot about the marriage of Figaro lately... and so this seemed appropriate. Also, I'm not sure if I've ever heard a more perfect flute choir than this one.

Winter 2010 Session

Happy new year, everybody! Flute choir starts again on Thursday, January 21st. Have you registered yet?

Here's our rehearsal schedule (subject to change):

Week 1: January 21
Week 2: January 28
Week 3: February 4
Week 4: February 11
Week 5: February 18
Week 6: February 25
Week 7: March 11
Week 8: March 18
(Week 9: March 22)
Week 10: March 25

The adult school catalog lists us as having one Monday rehearsal in there somewhere; as usual, we'll have to wait and see when that one will be until we get a little closer. My best guess is that the Monday rehearsal will fall during our ninth week (Monday, March 22), and then we'll have the concert March 25 - but if I were you, I'd wait until we finalize these dates before I made any plans.

Looking forward to seeing you!
