Guitar Circle Sundays s. 2 #8, 10-30-11

In attendance: Rick, Chris (scribe), Brad, David

A small crew on deck tonight. Chris is the last to arrive, shortly after 6:00, and the lighting and gear is mostly set up. Brad runs the board. We will be taking on Sunday night football and an October snow storm.

Before the performance, we haven't talked yet about what we can actually play as this particular quartet. Some minimal versions of IBE, Eye of the Needle, Flying Home and Batrachomyomachy are proffered to us in prehearsal, and Morning Has Broken is also a suggestion. Having duo pieces pays off with a Bartok duet and Moving Force, and Brad has a fresh solo piece to bring to the table.

We're on for an audience of three at 7:30, and the set comes out like this:

circulation I
Where's the Nurse
improv I
Eye of the Needle
Hommage a JSB
circulation II/improv II
Third Relation
Moving Force
Q & A
Askesis
Flying Home
Prelude in D minor
Morning Has Broken
improv III
Lark's Thrak
circulation III/improv IV
Austurias

About forty minutes of music. We tear down quickly after guests depart and linger a bit afterward to touch base on promotion and considerations for a possible third season. We're out the door no later than 9:45.
