Great rehearsal on Monday night! Thanks go out to Barbara and Lois for their outstanding contributions as soloists. This concert is going to be spectacular!

I’ve uploaded the recording of the original orchestral version of Kalinnikov’s Symphony No. 1 to the Sound Files page. Please take the time to listen to all four movements of the original before next Monday’s rehearsal to understand the thematic development of the Finale more fully.

Expect that next Monday’s rehearsal will focus on the Persichetti Symphony, with review on the Ticheli Rest, and work on the Kalinnikov and the Shostakovich.

Enjoy this beautiful weather this week.
