Well, this week has been a bit ‘study deficient’ but at Least I’ve managed to put in some useful sessions with my trumpet. All, apart from this morning, were upstairs at home with a lack of suitable acoustic not unduly preventing ‘decent’ playing of my selected pieces. This is all in aid of the Easter Day service on Sunday (31st March) at All Saints Church during which I will join in with the Offertory and Recessional hymns - NEH 121 (This Joyful Eastertide) and NEH 103 (Lux Eoi), respectively. Today gave me the opportunity of playing in church and this was most useful - more like a rehearsal than a run through!
Saturday’s (23rd March) trip into London went well, and not only was good business being done in the Hi Fi shop the pizza’s alone were worth the going! With such good custom being apparent I was unable to listen to any music (or equipment) but did get to join in with some interesting conversations with said customers... After this, Richard and I ‘hung out’ at Pizza Express’ Baker Street branch which has, unfortunately, sometimes been a bit rushed with below par pizzas, but not this time... a good Saturday
In between times, having again selected Smetana's Ma Vlast to listen to I am currently enjoying number 3 (Sarka) of this suite of 6 symphonic poems.
A music week...
