Inspiration this morning came from the daffodils blooming, the frogs returning to the ponds and the rhythms of all those 'spring' words.
This, in addition to the 3 new instruments, allowing everyone to have a good practice, awoke the creative spirit.
Using that well known rhyme,
Spring is sprung,
The grass is riz,
I wonder where the burdies is.
for rhythmic inspiration, soon we had put together a four bar melody, playing it on the glocks and xylophones accompanied by ostinatos on the bass xylophone and the metallophone, which was a good first part of a rondo.
After all that, the confidence was flowing and a line of volunteers was ready to improvise a section, until every single member had played, - a 'stretched' rondo, for sure!
CARILLON, we played and sang, everyone ready today to give it a good ending.
We continue with Beautiful Africa, looking to begin with a harmony in the chorus, next time.
