We warmed up to Bach's Concerto in A for oboe d'amore this morning and after the hilarity which accompanied our learning the movements, we followed on in silence, enjoying the music.
Returning to "White Swans", with some concentrated effort we made a good sound in 4 part harmony, and after the coffee break we played the melody on the xylophones, going on to instrumental accompaniment and improvised interludes.
We ended the morning by re-learning the words and tune of the old Edinburgh song about the ghost of Mary Queen of Scots, "The Fair Lady" and made a start on Carl Orff's instrumental arrangement for it.
As the Centre cafe staff are increasingly curious about our group, perhaps we'll invite them downstairs next week to hear a song or two _ before the coffee break, of course
