The very hot afternoon was the perfect opportunity to be indoors, playing music! Among the usual eclectic mix, a piece by Harry Somers (a Canadian) may have been the first time this composer was played here.
As a matter of general interest, some in the group recommended listening to the Ottawa Chamberfest Chamber Chats on Thursdays (www.chamberfest.com/chamber-chats/).
Here's what was played today:
- Lynda: Strangeness of heart, by Harry Somers
- Gregory: J. S. Bach: Prelude in D, No. 4 of 6 Little Preludes
- Christopher: F. Chopin, Nocturne in C# minor, Op. posthumous
- Wesley: F. Chopin, Waltz Op. 64 #2
- Jeff: J. Brahms, Intermezzo Op. 76 #7
- Lynda: B. Bartok, Romanian Folk Dances #1
- Gregory: I’m in the mood for Love, by Jimmy McHugh and Dorothy Fields
- Christopher: J. S. Bach, Sonatina from Cantata #106 "Gottes Zeit ist die allerbeste Zeit", piano arrangement by Eleonor Bindman
