First Rehearsal of the Decade

At last we have got under way, with a good turn out for the first session with our new Musical Director, Peter Fields. We played through two Overtures, Beethoven's Egmont and Rossini's The Barber of Seville.

Don't forget you can print off your own parts using the link on the right, however the Rossini is not the same edition, even though the reference letters A to L are in the same places. It does not however include cues. The Egmont is the identical Breitkopf & Hartel edition, but not quite so easy to read when shrunk down to fit an A4 sheet. You can even download a score if you want to see how the piece is put together.

Henry Starnes has contributed another instalment of his history of the group, which will be appearing shortly. See below if you haven't yet read Part I.
