AMORE and UNA LACRIMA _ these Italian words give the opportunity to concentrate on forming good vowel sounds and we took full advantage this morning, warming up our voices until we were singing out with gusto as we moved up the scale.
We continued with the round:
Hungry hunters sing a song
And bring along a banging gong.
The ng sounds of this allow us to feel the resonance in our voices and as we are singing it well now, it also results in beautiful harmonies.
Following the coffee, it was all hands to the beaters. After adding the missing instrument, the whip and learning the concluding section of the piece, we played, right through, FIVE FOOLS IN A BARROW, understanding for the first time I think, how exciting this piece is.
It will be wonderful now to come back to it in the coming weeks and begin to enjoy it in a deeper way.
