More Tunes

And notes about all these attachments:

As you'll see, we're going for simple, clean things so there shouldn't be anything here to alarm you. But please take a quick look at everything. In particular, check the chords (where you have to provide the voicing) and play them through on a piano if you have time. I've used jazz chord notation and you will have to fill out the chord yourself (including the arpeggios in the Bach Prelude in C if we do it). How you fill out the chord (incl the arpeggios in the Bach) is really not important for now, as long as we get the *right* chord! So.. a triangle means add a major seventh; a 7 means add a minor seventh; a circle with a 7 means a diminished 7th chord; one letter written over another (eg A/C#) simply means play an A chord and have the note C# at the bottom of the chord.

You should now have:

1: Vivaldi's La Follia
2: Ben Johnson's Drink To Me Only - a pop tune from the 17th century.
3: William Cornysh's Ah Robin - a pop tune from 16th century (or earlier).
3a: second half of same
4: Vaughan Williams - Lark Ascending. Pick a part to play in the accompaniment.
4a, b: solo violin part for this.
5: Messiaen: Le Loriot (if you don't know this piano piece have a listen - amazing). Just some of the chord sequences from it. Then we could improvise bird song around it. Also, the Bach Prelude from the Prelude and Fugue in C
6i, ii, iii, iv: The fugue from the Bach Prelude and Fugue in C, in separate voice parts: pick a part that suits your instrument (and transpose if necessary).
