Chapter Meeting

Welcome to the 2024-2025 season of the Tucson Recorder Society, a Chapter of the American Recorder Society. We provide opportunities for people to play recorders and other early instruments, to learn more about early music, ranging from the Medieval through the Baroque periods, and to have fun. We have players of all ages and abilities, and we meet about once a month from the fall through the spring. We welcome all members, new and old.

The first meeting of the season is on Saturday, September 21st, 1:30 p.m. to 3:15, at St. Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church, 602 N Wilmot Road at 5th Street. There is plenty of parking in the NW parking lot under the solar panels. Park and walk around the north end of the church to the east, and meet in the Smith Parish Hall. Please see the attached map.

The annual TRS dues are $40 per person this season.
The Play Day will have an additional fee.

Our September leader, Brian Cochran, provided the following message:

Hi Recorder players! Welcome to a new recorder season. We are changing the program up just a bit this year. Char will be starting the meeting with two pieces from the Consort Collection book (the blue or white recorder book). We will be working on #11 - Fantasia con Pause and #14 - Pavana La Cornett for September.

The first is the Corelli Pastorale. In it the tenor and bass recorder parts are basically the same. If you have a bass, please bring it. Also, if you have a great bass, it sounds really great playing the tenor part. Then we'll play several movements from Purcell's Abdelazar. Again, lots of basses would be nice. I think you'll enjoy these. If you get a chance, print the music out and go over some of the parts. If you don't get a chance, no problem- you'll be able to sight read them just fine at the meeting.
