212 Orchestra

Agincourt is an amazing piece and we will play it on our October 25th concert along with Dia and this really cool piece called
Danse Macabre--I'll give you one hint, get ready to dance . This week you guys really need to focus on the intonation, really make sure that your fingers are either touching or spread far apart. This will be a week of fine tuning rough spots like 69 to the end in Viva and 72 to the end in Biorhythms. We will not have a test on Friday but we will record either Agincourt, Viva, or Biorhythms for a classwork grade.

If you would like to listen to any of the songs we are playing in class please follow the links below. *you must have real player to listen to the songs*

Anyone seeking extra credit can do a research project on the real Agincourt and present your findings to the class. You may also do a research project on the Hispanic holiday Dia de los Muertos and present your findings to the class. These projects must be finished prior to the concert date.
