Marcelline brought an impressive quantity of music which included pieces for Christmas time, music with difficult time signatures and music enhanced by drum, cymbal and ornamentation. Some pieces were familiar, some completely new, and an arrangement of Gibbons "Silver Swan" by Netherlands composer Jacques Arcadeldt. She spoke about the how the nature of the dance steps or the words should inform how a piece is played, and worked on several ways of building variations and on how to add ornamentation.
Lynne relayed a request for a group to play at a Craft Fair and Nativity scene exhibition on the North Shore. More details here.
The meeting was well attended by about 20 people. Thanks to all those who brought tasty nibbles.
