Music

The music we will be playing during the spring 2024 season is as follows.

  • MARQUEZ – Danzón No. 2. Parts will be distributed at the first rehearsal.
  • HEROLD – Clog Dance. Parts will be distributed at the first rehearsal.
  • CARWITHEN – Suffolk Suite. Parts will be distributed at the first rehearsal.
  • DVORAK – Slavonic Dances. The following movements ONLY: nos. 1 Presto, 2. Allegretto Scherzando, with the following two on standby (we may or may not use them but please print them anyway): 4. Minuet/Tempo di menuetto 8. Presto. Parts available on IMSLP . Note that these come in two separate entries: nos. 1, 2 & 4 are in Book I, no. 8 is in Book II further down the page. In both cases please use the parts scanned by M.kowalski49 as these have rehearsal figures marked in. [CLARINETS: there are transposed parts in Bb for no. 1 Presto (labelled ‘Furiant’ by Abcd31). Louise will provide a Bb part for no. 2. (Nos. 4 & 8 are already in Bb.) TRUMPETS: if you open the M.Kowalski49 part and scroll past the Trumpet in F parts, there are transposed parts in Bb for nos. 1, 2 & 4. Louise will provide a Bb part for no. 8. TROMBONES: if you open the M.Kowalski49 Book I parts and scroll past all the tenor clef, there are parts re-written in bass clef. For no. 8, if you scroll down below the Book II parts, there’s a bass clef trombone part by Musik1602.]
  • ELGAR – Overture “The Wand of Youth”. Parts available on IMSLP. Print only no. 1 (Overture). Please use the parts scanned by M.kowalski49, as these are cleaner than those scanned by POmbal.
  • PUCCINI – “Intermezzo” from Manon Lescaut. Parts available on IMSLP. (We will probably omit bars 1-8 and start at figure 1, so that the strings don’t panic about horrendously high solo parts!). Scroll down past the “Pit Orchestra” and “Offstage Band” parts to the “Intermezzo” set scanned by Carolus. Wind & Brass: find and print off your own specific part from within the “Complete Parts” file. Strings and percussion have separate files. [Louise will re-jig the cor anglais part for oboe 1 (unless one of the oboes has a cor!) and will provide Bb parts for clarinets and trumpets and additional parts for percussion.]
