String Orchestra,
I know that there's a lot of music that I've handed out. Here's what we are going to play for our retreat in 2 weeks. Bellingrath Gardens, Ode to Joy, Brandenburg No. 5, Tam Lyn, and Halo.
Here are some spots that you should be looking at before next rehearsal.
Violin - For a Symphony Bar from Mrs. Scheidemantle, "Why is it called Brandenburg Concerto?"
Brandenburg- practice detache bow stroke for eighth notes and quarter notes
Bellingrath Gardens- 2nd violins: m. 62 and 73 practice with F and P dynamics
Viola - Brandenbug - practice the detache bow stroke, allowing for the different lengths for eighth and quarter notes. Practice m. 58 and stretch for the g#. Also, m. 52 cresc. and decresc.
Cello -Brandenburg, detache bow strokes, remember to use open strings whenever possible for a more open sound. Don't back off on the eighth note runs. Please practice the change from G# to G natural in m. 60
Bass - Brandenburg - m. 40 practice for intonation issues. Make sure the initial E half note is in tune before continuing. Watch out for the C# and F# as well.
Tam Lyn, m. 17 and m. 53
Solo Auditions are next week. Be prepared and practice. Bring a copy of your music for the judges to look at.
Pasadena Youth Symphony Orchestra
The Pasadena Youth Symphony Orchestra has continually offered robust musical training and personal development for young musicians throughout the San Gabriel Valley for over 40 years (1972). PYSO is considered among the best youth orchestras in the Southland. The PYSO is comprised of middle school students from grades six through nine. These committed young people receive advanced instruction and challenging music opportunities through a rigorous program that emphasizes ensemble playing. Members of the PYSO have performed throughout the world, including venues in Vienna, New York’s Carnegie Hall, the ASTA Conference and Competition in Santa Clara and many others. Last season, the PYSO appeared in concert with the United States Air Force Academy Band, Blue Steel at the United States Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO. Members of PYSO have also had many opportunities for additional performances outside the full orchestra program such chamber music at Pasadena Symphony concerts and a special guest appearance on Fox’s TV sensation, Glee. PYSO falls under the auspices of the Pasadena Symphony Association and often interacts with Pasadena Symphony and POPS conductors, guest artists, musicians and staff.
