In attendance: Rick, Chris (scribe), Brad, Dev
8:40 - 11:00 PM
A circulation to begin, followed by some brief observations on the movement of key centers. The WTC fugue appears to be the first item on the agenda, picking up the thread from Sunday. It is decided that, although missing some parts, attempting a full play-through might be valuable for clarification and practice. This is given a few tries, with resting players providing a count. Many re-attempts are made, allowing individual players to iron their parts out; the group lands on bars 19-21 for some focused work, before going all the way through one or two times successfully. They also give it a shot without metronome, with not-discouraging results.
After a short break, some old repertoire crops up - Where's the Nurse, Calliope, Intergalactic Booogie Express, and Flying Home. The conclusion of Flying Home calls for a short circulation that leads to some various passages of improvisation.
Next, Dev is introduced to some of his parts for Peaches en Regalia. We hover around sections "A" and "B" before pushing up to "D", the current goal of familiarity for the piece.
The meeting concludes with a short conversation on practical subjects, both within and without the Circle.
