Songs of Earth and Beyond (week 2)

SEE YOU ON OCT 20, 2020! NO REHEARSAL THIS WEEK

Wings of Mercury (mm 14-32 with run through): listen to the flutes, oboe, clarinets, alto sax at the suddenly section since they have the driving quarter & eighth note rhythm.  (faster section is 138-144 BPM)

Amber Moon (5-21 with run through up to 55): Take a look at the keys signatures and where they change. The driving rhythms will help to keep you in time and there are more rhythms added. Listen to the other parts and get to the know the piece. This will help you stick with the piece since it is one of the longer ones. (faster section is 132BPM)

Star Wars (1-21): This one has triplets and eighth notes. Try to subdivide whichever you have coming up next to keep you playing them in time. (goal tempo is 104BPM).

What we will do next time:

  • slower run throughs of some pieces (caverns of sonora, wings of mercury, water music, star wars)
