OK, granted this won't be of interest to many. But Kevin Sullivan has invited a well-known harpsichord player (volatile memory has done for the name once more) to give a performance at Lyndon Institute, VT, USA, 7pm. This will be the culmination of a three-day masterclass for students at the Institute.

Hi Kitty,

Maybe this should have been on the convey hall board?

Although you may get more readers here....

Overall, a very good standard of performance from students for some of whom, this is their first year studying music. Excellent reading of Shakespeare's sonnet 116.

A trombone and harpsichord duet, Andante Cantabile from sonata in F minor (Telemann - odd mixture. The trombone overshadowed the harpsichord rather.

Cantate Domino (Pitoni) very well performed by the LI Select Choral Ensemble. (i.e. I could follow the words without a score).

Were they using a modern trombone or a period instrument (narrower bore and less flare to the bell)?

Modern trombone.

BTW, for enthusiasts: the harpsichord was built by Peter Fisk, based on an early 18th C. German instrument, single manual with buff stop.

Probably why the balance was a bit weird then, modern trombones are much more powerful.  Can't remember if there's a harpsichord at all on it, but the Christian Lindberg CD "Trombone and Voice in the Hapsburg Empire" should give you a better idea of the tone and power of the instrument Telemann would have had in mind (the CD's all alto trombone come to think of it)
