From the Music Director (Vicki Boeckman) SRS Meeting Greetings, Everyone,

Is it me or did this month literally just whiz right past? I am certainly ready for spring, and I think we Friday, are all ready for some stability here, weather or March 3rd, 2017 otherwise. One thing we can count on is a plethora @ 7:30 pm of activities and concerts to nourish and sate our recorder-playing cravings. Don't forget to scroll all the way down to the bottom of this newsletter to get to the Opening Program ever-growing calendar of events. Even if you don't University of Washington have time to take it all in now, you can star the Libraries Singers message and return to it later. and Early Music Ensemble

It is hard to believe that we only have two more playing sessions in our season—March 3rd and April 7th. April 7th will be led by Matthias Playing Session Maute, so that is truly an evening not to be missed! (Nor is the concert or (Vicki Boeckman) the master class the very next day!) Pedersøn, Lassus, and Telemann For our playing session on March 3rd, I'd like to start with two 5- part madrigals by the Danish composer Mogens Pedersøn: “Ecco La Prima- All sizes of recorders vera” heralding the spring and “Son vivo e non so Vivo” about the conflicts and viols are welcome. Low of living a life without love. Both come from the collection called Madrigale bass recorders are needed! a cinque voci from 1611, published after Pedersøn completed his studies in

Venice with Giovanni Gabrieli. We will then move on to play one of my favorite pieces by Lassus, “Laudate Pueri Dominum,” which is a stunning 7- Backroom Gang part piece written at the height of Lassus' mastery. No connection to spring (Miyo Aoki) other than that it is uplifting and beautiful. Then I'd like to end the evening Music will be provided. with movements from Telemann's delightful Water Music suite in C major. Looking back at my notes I see that we played it in 2009, so I think it can stand to be revisited. Everyone is familiar with Handel’s Water Music suites, and Telemann’s work by the same name is equally rewarding. Handel and Telemann had a mutual admiration for each other, and Telemann never missed an opportunity to travel to an event that would reunite them. Newsletter Deadline for April Issue: All sizes of recorders—soprano down to contra—needed, the more low basses the better, and of course viols are always welcome. If anyone Sunday, March 19th needs music ahead of time, please let me know what part you are interested in and I will send a pdf as soon as I can. See you soon, everyone!

My teacher, Nina Stern, has invited me to join her organization, S’Cool Sounds, on their sixth trip to Kenya this coming June. S’Cool Sounds has partnered for numerous years with Crossing Thresholds to teach recorder to students in the Kibera slum outside of Nairobi, Kenya. As I prepare to begin my studies at a European conserv- atory in recorder and music education, this trip will allow me to combine two of my passions—music and working with children. Donations from the concert will be used to cover the costs of the trip and any left over funds will be used to purchase recorders to bring with us to Kenya.

Tickets are a suggested donation of $50 or as able. Due to limited seating, please RSVP to [email protected] by March 15th. Donations can be accepted at the door. If you are unable to attend the concert, but would still like to donate, please visit the following GoFundMe: https://www.gofundme.com/music- across-the-horizons.

Upcoming Master Class with Matthias Maute (From Vicki Boeckman)

The master class with Matthias Maute will be held on Saturday, April 8th, 2017 from 9:30 am until 2:30 pm. The location is the Community Room at Maple Leaf Lutheran Church (where our SRS meetings are held).

Matthias Maute is undeniably one of the most spectacular and innovative recorder virtuosos of our time. He is an unstoppable energetic force of nature always striving for excellence. He will be here in Seattle to lead the SRS April playing session on Friday, April 7th, teach a master class on Saturday, April 8th, and perform two concerts with Gallery Concerts, one on Saturday, April 8th at 7:30 pm and one on Sunday, the 9th at 3 pm. He is eager to fit as much teaching as he can into the tight Seattle schedule, and we are very fortunate to have him here with us. Be prepared to be wowed in every sense of the word.

We are not taking any more performers for Matthias' master class on April 8th, but there are unlimited slots for auditors. The cost for auditing is $25.

For those of you wondering what a master class is, it is simply a fancy name for an “open” lesson. There is a student (the active participant), a teacher, and an audience (the auditors). The beauty of a master class is that it is a win/win situation for auditors and participants alike, because everyone is a recipient to the same instruction! Auditors who are not “performing” learn a tremendous amount by following along with the teaching and learning process of someone else's lesson, without the distraction of getting nervous. It is a fascinating way to absorb information, be it confirmation of what you already know, or introduction to something new—an invitation to look at things through a different lens. Please join us for this invigorating day and help cheer on your fellow players!

Miyo had us all read our rhythms vocally, and then just the tenors read theirs, which was * * * especially offset and difficult. The other main idea was to keep the bounce and lightness of the dance, giving an “up” feeling. People who are interested should contact Laura by email at Another work rich in hemiolas was William Byrd's “My Mind to Me [email protected] a Kingdom Is.” Again with six quarters to the measure, this one's main idea or by calling (206) 619-0671. was two groups of three, so measures with three groups of two provided much interest as the parts alternated between the two organizational (continued below) 2

schemes. Miyo first dealt with our tendency to drag the three-group SRS Board Members measures, and then had us try an interesting technique: play each note very short, with silence between it and the next very short note. This trick can (2016/2017) greatly clarify the way rhythms fit together in ensemble music. Finally, Miyo coached us to play the stepwise measures smoothly. The work felt joyful! Music Director: Vicki Boeckman (206-985-9916) [email protected] We went on to a setting of Psalm 103, “Benedic anima mea,” by French composer Claudin de Sermisy. Miyo transcribed this lovely Music Director Emeritus: Peter Seibert (206-329-2774) Renaissance piece for us. She had us tune the open fifth that pervades the [email protected] piece, and pay close attention to intonation throughout (note to self: this can improve the performance of pretty much any work!). The piece also gave Officers: opportunities to practice a technique useful when notes are held a very long President: Mike Woolf time: rather than let the tone begin to waver, stop blowing immediately.

Again, intonation was key. [email protected]

Past President: Hanan Bell Finally, we played a movement from the Rachmaninoff All-Night (206-695-2276) [email protected] Vigil, again adapted for us by Miyo. It's not often you get the chance to play Rachmaninoff on recorders!
