[cantabile] Report on the April 12 rehearsal

The good news is that we were joined again by Patricia Hawkins, who
is also planning to play the Walk for Hunger. This means that we’re a
lot better off for singing on the vocal top lines.

The bad news is that between trying to thoroughly rehearse
some of the things we’re shaky on or trying out new part assignments (good),
and how long it took everyone to be in place with their instruments
tuned and music in front of them (bad), we got through only a small amount
of what we need to rehearse in the next two weeks. The rehearsal
next week will be a coaching session on another small part of the
repertoire, so this really can’t happen on April 26. We really have
to be able to start playing at 7:45, which means everybody has to have
their books in order and marked with what they’re playing, and the
people with setup and tuning time have to be there well before the
start time.

I have updated the part
assignments to reflect the decisions we made last night. If you
need any help printing your parts, or understanding what you’re
playing, please ask me before the next rehearsal.

We played:

• Drinking rounds
• Babylon group
• Changeons Propos
• Il Bianco e dolce cigno
