Hey Concert Orchestra! Check out the entire concerto! We'll be playing all of it! Get practicing!
Vivaldi Concerto in D Major
Here is a performance of LAY A GARLAND that you can practice with.

It performed by the Cambridge Singers and conducted by Sir John Rutter.

Notice the sweeping crescendos that occur, the open, yet bright vowel shapes, and the way they sing "Maiden's Willow Branches"...  there's a lovely rit. at the end we will add as well!

This is EXACTLY the style we have been going for so practice this interpretation for next week!

Mr. P.

Those who have rehearsal Tuesday after school MUST take their citrus after rehearsal.

Those who don't have rehearsal MUST pick up their citrus by 5:30 Wednesday evening.  

All citrus orders must be taken by Wednesday so that MR2 can return to a functioning classroom.
