7:30 PM - 9:00 PM Eastern

Chapter Meeting

Friday March 8 at 7:30 PM at the New Ark United Church of Christ, 300 East Main Street, Newark, Delaware.
 
The leader will be Bob Wiemken.
 
His program will be:
The Wonderful World of Color (Chromaticism, that is!)
 
Some of you (of my vintage!) may remember your very first experience with color TV or movies, the thrill of it, the newness, game changing, life altering, exuberant! That thrill and exuberance must have been felt by many in the 16th century when composers began to immerse (or drench) themselves in the possible “colors” of music theretofore unknown and unheard. Breaking the bounds of the gamut was a bold venture that forever changed the sound of music. We’ll explore this frontier at its beginnings and follow it into steady waters. And, hey, in the process you’ll get to use many of the notes on your recorders that often go unused and unheard. So, brush off that dust, brush up on the fingerings, and let’s have a great time with technicolor music that spawned even (especially!) the great Johann Sebastian Bach!
