Orchestra Rehearsal

April 17, 2008 · 2 Comments

I think we’ve received all of the music planned for our next concert on May 16th, plus the prelude of the medical school graduation on May 2nd.

  • Dvorak Slavonik Dance #1 (Op. 46) Presto
  • Berlioz Roman Carnival Overture
  • Selections from Les Miserables
  • Medley from Camelot
  • Mozart Overture to The Marriage of Figaro
  • Bartok Rumanian Folk Dances
  • Bach Double in c for violin and oboe
  • Vivaldi Spring from The Four Seasons

Tonight we rehearsed the first five on the list, and my practice notes follow.

Dvorak

  • Arpeggios
  • scales at F
  • broken thirds after F *** (impossible?)

Berlioz

  • cello soli at 4
  • syncopated motif as at 7 and 12, especially the end of it
  • divisi part at 11
  • arpeggio at 14
  • new fingering at 6/8 after 14
  • cello soli at 17 *** Deceptively difficult because of the G#. Fix the fingering.
  • review fingering at 19

Les Mis

  • run the whole thing once for fingering

Camelot

  • once for fingering
  • melody at 29 nice and legato

Mozart

  • modulating section before D
