Quick thoughts on January 14, 2006 and for January 21, 2006

Ciao a tutti,

While it is pleasing to know that we can perform Concerto d'Amore competently well, there is still plenty of polishing to be done to get the parts to sound good, especially the slower parts.

Pieces confirmed for the repertoire include:

1. Bayou Breakdown (approx 5 mins)
2. Concerto d'Amore (approx 7 mins)

As the general public is going to hear us for the concert in March, I am trying to bring more contemporary pieces to play with i.e. pieces which place more emphasis on tone and expression rather than technique.

I am currently considering some movie theme music compilations [two or three, pending availability of scores] as well as throwing in two light pieces, plus one more piece which belongs to band repertoire - either a dance or a concert march.

I hope to see all of you on Sunday. Thanks for the people who came to practise...and for those who didn't, please do join us soon when your other commitments are over.

Fine [pron. fee-neh] :-)
