Musician Notes:
We ask that you bring your own stand, as well as a compact folding chair. Due to space constraints, please plan to store your belongings by your seat, alongside the bookshelves that will demarcate our small “stage.” We will ask that the violins and violas stand. Those unable to stand for 30 minutes, please send us an email at musicinmay@gmail.com and we will make arrangements.
Performance Notes:
Notes on repertoire: For the Handel, violins will see a concertino and ripieno on the same part. Ensemble SF will play any solo parts, while others play the ripieno/tutti parts. Though the score includes two oboe parts, we will omit them. Handel’s original version was without oboes. Holst St. Paul’s Suite, First movement ONLY (Jig) Exciting to play and listen to but not too difficult. It is the first 7 pages of the score. In the parts, The Jig is just the first 3 pages (2 pages for Bass). Telemann Don Quixote: The scores and parts have all the movements but to reduce it to about 10 minutes, we will only perform the following movements: (1) Overture, (2) His Attack on the Windmills, (3) Sighs of Love for Princess Aline, (4) Sancho Panza Swindled, and (5) The Gallop of Sancho Panza’s Mule. Corelli: As with the Handel, concertino solo and ripieno are on the same part, so please note that Ensemble SF will play top solo lines and musicians will play the ripieno parts. Velázquez Besame Mucho: Will feature either one bongo or other Latin percussion player.
