February 2022 Newsletter

Dear Early Music Friends,

Here’s the February newsletter.  Please note that our next chapter meeting will be very early in February, Tuesday, February 1st!!  Back in pre-Covid times we met in person on the first Tuesday of the month.  As we set up this season’s chapter meetings, we were hopeful that we would be able to meet in person again.  But no.  This has led to a need for flexibility so we could take advantage of some really good alternatives, which in turn necessitated changing meeting dates.  Thanks to all of you for bearing with us!

Did you miss last Thursday’s chapter meeting with the Oregon Renaissance Band?  Would you like to review it and play along again?  If you have a current SRS membership, I can hook you up!  Greta Haug-Hryciw recorded the meeting and will share it with members.  Just drop me an email and I’ll put you in touch.

I hope the last part of January goes well for all of you.  See you on February 1st!

November 2021 Newsletter

Dear Early Music fans,

Happy Halloween! Our pumpkin is out but no trick-or-treaters yet. I hope you are all doing well. We are still hopeful that we will be able to meet in person again in the next few months. And we are planning to have a Spring or Summer Party since the traditional Winter Party doesn’t seem to be possible.

Please note that we will be sending links to SRS members this time. It’s a joint meeting with our San Francisco friends, so if you are an SFRS member you are also good to go! We currently have 16 members and I am once again attaching a membership form. If you’ve been procrastinating, it’s time to get going on this!

I’m looking forward to seeing everyone on November 17th. It should be a great meeting!

Alison Melville’s Online Classes

DOUBLE-DARE – Baroque and Neo-Baroque Duets

Playing duets can be wonderful and there are lots of them for recorder players to enjoy, though for many of us this repertoire isn’t a major focus. Here’s an opportunity for change! In this series of classes we’ll divide our time between Baroque and Neo-Baroque duets to explore questions on musical structure and expression, technique, rhythm, listening skills, when to lead and when to follow, and other ideas to bring the music off the page and enhance your enjoyment of this repertoire.

The music: selections from Bach’s Two-Part Inventions and duets by Telemann, Michael Tippett, Harald Genzmerand Hans-Ulrich Staeps.

Music and accompaniment mp3s of both parts provided, so you’ll ‘appreciate the view’ from each side.

Designed for recorder players at an intermediate level or higher. Mostly for alto recorder, though a couple of the pieces ask for soprano on one part.

Flutists and other treble instrument players are welcome if they wish to explore the repertoire.

Pitch A-440.

Four one-hour classes on Zoom, on November 10, 17, 24 and December 1, 2021.

Classes at 10:30 a.m., 1:30 p.m. or 7:00 p.m. (Eastern).

Course fee: Cad $45 or US $40

Contact alison and indicate which class time(s) are possible for you.

New Recorder Shop in Portland, OR

Hello recorder friends!

Recently, you may have received a mailing from Katze at Blockfloetenshop.de announcing a partnership with a new recorder shop in the US. That new webshop is http://www.recorderforge.com and is based in Portland, Oregon. My name is Jamison Forge, owner and operator of the Recorder Forge. It is my goal to bring you fast, friendly service, while providing easier access to hard to get brands such as Paetzold by Kunath, FEHR, and many others.

Being located in the US, I am able to provide great service with Katze, but also keep a good stock of sought after instruments close to home. I keep a full compliment of Paetzold basses from tenor to Sub Great bass IN STOCK so I can get the instruments in your hands quickly. I want to bring these new brands and fun instruments to my customers in weeks rather than months, and the full range is available at http://www.recorderforge.com.

Thank you all for supporting the recorder world with your playing, and I greatly look forward to working with you on all of your recorder needs. Please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have about the new shop, or the services we provide. I am best contacted by e-mail, but will always return or schedule a phone call when needed.

Welcome to the Recorder Forge!!!
