18 Mar 23 - 01:15 AM (#4167859) Subject: RE: BS: happy st. patrick's day From: leeneia My band is meeting this Sunday,and we'll be marking the occasion by playing Irish music. Since we are an early-music group, I'm including Carolan pieces, since he's eighteenth century. Today I wrote an easy harmony part and a bass part for Eleanor Plunkett. O Give Me Your Hand is even earlier, so I believe we'll do that too, but with no easy parts. The beginners will just have to tough it out. After quite a few mild days, the weather demons turned on us and sent a cold and snowy day for the St. Patrick's Day parade. So my neighborhood, which is the traditional place for drinking green beer after the parade, was calm today. I bet the police department is thanking the angels for that. Every year I wonder why the Parade Committee can't honor a saint whose day is in May or late September, when the weather's nice. Maybe the police are against it. |

Well, it would be a good idea for the nice people who enter the parade and who watch it happily. But for the drunks and the rowdies, maybe we better hope for bad weather. On a happier theme, my band had a great time doing Irish music yesterday. We did two Carolan tunes (Eleanor Plunkett and Abigail Judge), Cill Chaise, and the Dancing Master. We spend a lot of time on each piece. First we get to know how it goes, then we master the harmony parts, then somebody walks in and has to catch up, then we play it because it sounds really good and we enjoy it. |
