More Listening!

Hello Hornists!
I'm reporting on our last rehearsal which was yesterday!  We rehearsed several pieces for our upcoming spring concert (we should have almost all the parts handed out) including:

  • Chorals (new chorals, numbered 7-18 were handed out, so we should all have 1-18 in our folders)
  • Pumping Song
  • Jupiter
  • Cantos 2 (Canzon; we decided last week to give back Cantos 4)
  • Queen of Sheba
  • La Folia (Dynamics: alternating every 8 measures piano and forte, starting at forte)
  • Lo Presti Suite

Our next rehearsal will be next Saturday on Mar. 9th, from 9-11 in the band room at MCC.  See you there!

Pumping Song (CCM Horn Choir; starts at 2:20)

Blue Horns (EKU Horn Choir)

Cantos II: Canzon Per Sonar Primi Toni (brass ensemble in cathedral)
