Haydn Symphonies Project part 13 with Peter Wood
Dipton Community Centre
11.30 – 4.30pm
please note the later start and finish times than normal
This rehearsal is open to all interested players, whether or not they play regularly in the Cobweb Orchestra, so please encourage your friends to come along. This is a wonderful opportunity to join in this fantastic project of playing through all of Haydn’s symphonies. We will be guided through the day by Peter Wood, musical director of the Dalston group.
Flutes, Oboes, Bassoons, Horns and Strings wanted!
Peter says:
We have now looked at 67 symphonies and in this session I am hoping to look at the following symphonies – 54, 61,71,53 (L’Imperiale),62 and 74. In addition to the usual strings, oboes and horns Haydn is now also writing independent parts for Bassoons and Flutes in his symphonies so it would be great if some of our flute and bassoon players could now join us. There are no no trumpets or timps in these symphonies (watch out for session 14 in January!) As usual clarinets are welcome to join us and oboe parts transposed for Bb clarinets will be available. The preparation of parts for this project is time consuming and it would be appreciated if you could enrol as soon as possible so that I know how many parts I need to prepare and to give me time to fill any holes we may have in the orchestra. I look forward to seeing you all at Dipton.
There will be a ‘bring and share’ lunch so please bring a contribution if you would like to get involved. There is a supermarket opposite the venue, so you can buy something there if you need to. Please remember to check the Cobweb food hygiene guidelines (https://cobweborchestra.org.
