6/6 pieces we played at #Cowley #Orchestra last Wednesday: Alexander #Borodin Prince Igor Polovtsian Dances. Borodin was obviously very important because he was both a chemist and a composer. We had a go at the Prince Igor dances before running out of time - may help to study the dance video to get a feeling for the spirit of the piece.

Today it’s orchestra rehearsals. One of the former conductors of our #AmateurOrchestra was #DutchComposer Jan Felderhof (1907-2006). He had a great sense of humour. Like many #DutchComposers of his time, he was influenced by French music. Listen to his Flute Concerto
