October 2010 Newsletter The Pipe and the Drum DATE:
Sunday, October 17, 2010 Under the advice of Curt Sachs, Carl Orff added the recorder as a melody instrument to his percussion ensemble. At this workshop, let your inner-drummer out to explore some fantastic recorder and hand drum music written by Orff's colleague, Guinild Keetman. Members of the Boulder Chapter were pleasantly surprised by how much fun they had drumming along with the recorders. Our Leader for This Meeting Peggy McCreary
is an Orff Specialist at the Grenoble Studio of Musical Arts where
she teaches children from preschool through high school. She received
her B.M. from the University of New Mexico and her Orff Teacher
Training Certificate from the University of Denver. She holds a
summer Certificate from the Orff Institute, as well. She has taught
recorder and percussion in Teacher Training courses at the Universities
of Denver, Northern Colorado, Hawaii, and New Mexico, workshops
for the American Orff Schulwerk Association chapters nationwide,
and presented at more than a dozen AOSA National Conferences. Peggy
keeps up her own musical skills by conducting and playing oboe and
percussion in the Colorado Wind Ensemble. President’s Message Have you

you’ve been reading about. Now you can find out. Dick Munz will
lead a session of Fipple Jive specifically designed for you, the
Newbie. Come, learn about this unique approach to playing the recorder
and have a lot of fun in the process. Monteverdi 400th Anniversary About 400 years ago last Thursday, Claudio Monteverdi produced one of his greatest works. Colorado joins the international celebration of this event through two performances of the Vespers of 1610 and a concert of virtuosic music performed by the Monteverdi Soloists, a group of internationally-known vocal and instrumentalists (a quartet of singers plus sackbutt, cornetto, theorbo, baroque violin and continuo). The Vespers choir, under the direction of Evanne Browne, is comprised of members of First United Methodist Church and selected community choral singers representing 15 area choirs. These are Colorado's only planned performances of this glorious music in this anniversary year. One of the world's foremost authorities and authors on 16th and 17th century Italian music, Dr. Jeffrey Kurtzman, will lead pre-concert discussions to the Vespers, 45 minutes before the Saturday and Sunday concerts.

in playing a large selection of the music written between 1500 and
1800, you might give us a try. Give me a call if you are interested.
