Hanneke’s music for September 6

Hello fellow SRS members!

 
I hope everyone had a wonderful music-filled summer, and can’t wait to come to the first Sacramento Recorder Society meeting of the season this coming Tuesday. Our guest conductor will be Hanneke van Proosdij who brings a wealth of knowledge, exceptional talent, and infectious enthusiasm to every event she directs or performs in. To read Hanneke’s bio please see page 2 of the September newsletter. Also on page 2 are Hanneke’s descriptions of the pieces that we’ll be playing: 

1 Telemann – Alster Overture NSAAATTTB Cb
2 Lotti – Crucifixus SSAATTBB
3 Haydn – Menuet from Symphony No 59 SSATTTTTB Cb
4 Slovenia – Skladba SAATTT Gb Cb
5 Anon – Falalalan SATB
Please print what you might play. We depend on members either to print their own music or to arrange for a friend to print it for them. If you are bringing a friend with you to play at the meeting, please print music for them too. We may have only a very limited number of extra copies at the meetings, and sometimes none.
See you next week on Tuesday for a wonderful evening of music with Hanneke!
Mark
