Pictures At An Exhibition
by Little_Monkey @ 2007-08-17 - 11:16:38

I missed most of last night's rehearsal, due someone ringing me just as I left the house so I think I managed the rare feat of spending three times as much time in the pub as I did actually practicing.

Anyway, we played Promenade, Gnome, aand The Old Castle from "Pictures At An Exhibition" by Mussorsky. They sounded quite good considering we haven't played them for a good ten years. However, it made it really obvious that we are lacking a cello player in the orchestra, which is a real shame.

ps
Just for a change, our leader was complaining that we were playing notes that were "too intune" :-/

I LOVE "Pictures...", Well I love ELP's variation of it, and my Mum's battered old record. Just off to dust the CD down before I get tea ready.

Perhaps I'd better start learning the cello then?!

I wish you would! But I haven't forgotten your promise to play you clarinet with us sometime! :)
