Subject: [Harp-L] classical seminar at SPAH

[EGS1217@xxxxxxx]

Well, Hello Grizz...finally came out of hibernation on Slidemeister, did  
you? ;)
<G>
 
 
You'll find quite a few of the same chromatic players post/lurk on  both 
harp-l and Slidemeister, but probably more who are on this list play  both 
diatonics as well as chromatics.  We can actually call them what they  are here 
instead of using pseudonyms, lol..
 
Wish you luck with the Seminar.  I'm positive there will be  interest..since 
SPAH is loaded with chromatic players..but I get  the feeling quite a lot of 
them don't post online, or belong to  harmonica lists.  I'm sure if you have a 
notice of your 
Seminar available on arrival people will be signing up, but then they won't  
have the materials preparation....unless you send out flyers to the membership 
 ahead of time?  Just a thought....

"My first SPAH, my first post here!

I'm giving a seminar at SPAH  this year, and would like your input if  
you plan to attend. I'm  looking for some classical music players who  
will bring a solo or two  (and recorded accompaniment) to participate  
in this seminar, described  below.

I'm also looking for at least one each of chromatic, chord and  bass,  
to play an arrangement of a part of Beethoven's 7th Symphony.  Each  
part of this arrangement is modular; in other words, you'd only  have  
to learn about 16 bars of music to be able to put this together.  The  
music is easy, key of A minor, and s-l-o-w. I can send parts  out  
ahead of time. If interested, contact me off-list: tombaehr  AT  
verizon DOT net.

CLASSICAL MUSIC FOR THE  NON-VIRTUOSO

Most of the recorded classical music Iâve heard on  chromatic  
harmonica has been way beyond my capabilities. They tend to  contain  
showpieces for virtuoso players. But I love classical music,  and have  
found several pieces that work for me.

Perhaps you  have, too, Iâd like us to share our experiences and our  
music, by  playing for each other and by playing a short, simple piece  
or two  together. Along the way, we can share techniques, sources for  
music,  information on venues, and accompaniment options, and anything  
else  that comes up.

Most importantly, weâll explore style considerations in a  discussion  
that compares and contrasts the approach to classical music  to other  
genres, such as standards, jazz and rock.

Although  itâs not required for this seminar, youâre welcome to bring  
music and  CD accompaniment to share with the other participants. Iâll  
try to  make this a hands-on workshop, so your input will be a real  
plus. Itâs  also okay just to come and listen.

A novice on harmonica,Tom Baehr loves  to play mostly classical music,  
reflecting his musical training. He  relies on his half-century  
background on flute for  inspiration."
