Hi all,
  Happy Snowpocalypse!  With Plainville schools being closed tomorrow, and the world coming to the end, we wont have practice tomorrow.  May you all have sufficient quantities of milk and bread.  (Because the stores are out)

Last week, as we worked on Cowboys, there were many spots of 8th and 16ths or 16th and 8ths that should sound like a run of just 16ths.  Some of the parts are not divided so it is sometimes hard to tell if it should be all 16ths.  Below is a list of the spots that should be played as all 16ths if you are able.

Measures       Beats       Who

For all of these spots, if you are able, play 4 16th notes instead of 8th and 2 16ths. (or 2 16ths and 8th)

A couple more errors for the flutes



Resplendent Glory – Flute 1, measure 165, 1st note of beat 4 triplet, marked A natural..s/b Ab
The Cowboys – Flute 2, measure 241, D’s on beat 1 missing # symbol… s/b D#’s here not natural


Thanks Maureen.

As you see more errors in the parts please pass them along.  There is nothing worse than working hard, practicing the wrong notes.

Pencil Practice

Below are a list of errors in the parts for THE COWBOYS and ON A HYMNSONG OF PHILIP BLISS.  Look through and mark your parts accordingly.

The Cowboys

Errata

  • B-flat Clarinet 2 and 3, meas 17–19: The rhythmic figure in meas. 17 & 18 must be moved one measure later. To accomplish this, delete meas. 19 (whole note A); then insert one measure with whole note (D) as meas. 17 (copy from meas. 16) [This will match the orchestra arrangement.]
  • E-flat Alto Clarinet, meas. 56, beat 3: add a quarter rest (or change the last quarter rest to a half rest) / E-flat Alto Clarinet, meas. 63: add 4/4 meter signature
  • Bassoon 1, 2, meas. 220, beat 4: change eighth note to a quarter note; delete the quarter rest
  • E-flat Alto Saxophone 1, 2, meas 17–19: The rhythmic figure in meas. 17 & 18 must be moved one measure later. To accomplish this, delete meas. 19 (whole note E); then insert one measure with whole note (A) as meas. 17 (copy from meas. 16) [This will match the orchestra arrangement.] / Meas 148, beat 1: D should read B / Meas. 29, beat 3: change rhythm from eighth and 2 sixteenths to two sixteenths and an eighth
  • E-Flat Alto Saxophone 1, 2, meas. 185, beat 3 & 4: change eighth notes to quarter notes in Bassoon cue
  • B-flat Tenor Saxophone, meas 17–19: The rhythmic figure in meas. 17 & 18 must be moved one measure later. To accomplish this, delete meas. 19 (whole note A); then insert one measure with whole note (D) as meas. 17 (copy from meas. 16) [This will match the orchestra arrangement.]
  • F Horn 2, meas. 162, beat 3: change two quarter notes to two eighth notes / Meas. 212, beat 2: fix printers error above note
  • Baritone B.C., meas. 250, beat 2: half notes should read eighth notes
  • Mallet Percussion, meas. 204, beat 1: D should read C
  • Score, meas. 250-256, 2 & 3 B-flat Trumpet: The voices are misidentified in the score at meas. 250: Trumpet 3 plays the harmony with the Trumpet 1 while Trumpet 2 plays the rhythmic divisi passage.

On  a Hymdsong of Philip Bliss

Errata

The following errors are in the parts:

  • Alto Sax II, m. 23: Written B-flat should be a written D.

Part Correction – for Clarinet 2 & 3, Alto Sax 1 & 2 and Tenor Sax

In “Cowboys” there is a mistake in the parts in Measures 17-19.

Measures 17 and 18 should be played as written in measures 18 & 19.  In the now vacated measure 17, play another whole note like you did in measure 16.
So now:
Measure 16 = Measure 16 (a whole note)
Measure 17 = whole note continued
Measure 18 = dotted half tied to 8th and two 16ths
Measure 19 = a bunch of 16ths
Measure 20 = Measure 20
Comment below if you have any questions.
