Our concert on Sunday, November 30

[wiseheart]

I thought I'd give you the full programme, so that you might be able to look up the individual parts if you want to.

Beginning: violin solo (something by Kodály)

1. Alleluia by Boyce
2. Parce Domine by Menegali
3. A part for 4 voices about the joy of singing by Pitoni - sorry, I don't know the English title, but it is gorgeous.
4. O Occhi manza mia by Orlando Lasso
5. Ave Maria by Arcadelt
6. Ave verum by Mozart

Flute solo

7. Choir from "Der Zauberflöte" by Mozart
8. The Musician's Song by Tamás Daróczi Bárdos (contemporary Hungarian componist)
9. The Two Girls Went to Pick Flowers - madrigalesque based on a Hungarian folk song by Balázs (contemporary Hungarian componist)
10. Songs from Five Continents by Erzsébet Szőnyi (who just turned 90 this year - this is a funny collection: we sing Japanese and even Swahili!)
11. The choir of the slaves from Nabucco by Verdi

It is a very ambitious programme, so wish us luck. :)

On a completely unrelated note, I've updated Arthur's Quest, thanks to my generous beta, lindahoyland.
Chapter 19 - The Judgement of the Siege Perilous is here.

Good luck. Wish I lived nearer so I could come.

I wish we would live closer to each other for several grounds. It would be briliant to have you come to the concert. Perhaps somebody will upload part of it to YouTube and I can post a link.

Good luck! It's a beautiful programme! (I'm particularly in love with flute solos.)

One of our younger colleagues plays the flute, together with her partner, so it will be a family effort. And the violin teacher and one of her price students will play the violin pieces, or course. Afterwards we'll have a party, with food and drinks and old videós and stuff... Ten years is a long time.

A decade is a long time, definitely deserving celebration. :-)

Sounds like an interesting program. How did it go?

It went well enough. There were a few mistakes, but only we knew it, so it wasn't too bad. We omitted the Ave Maria by Arcadelt for time-y reasons; we'll sing it next Saturday on the Christmas concert instead. I got a cold in the church, it was lousy cold, but I'm getting better, so all is well.
