Last Two Sessions of Merida Symphonic Aerobics


This is to advice you of changes of programmes from my first posting on 24th September.

On Tuesday 26th November, we will be having fun working out to several short pieces of music.  As there is no symphony concert this week, I have had a great time selecting exciting and interesting pieces for us to workout to:

Sibelius: Finlandia
Brahms: Academic Festival Overture 
Chabrier: España
Rimsky Korsakov: Cappricio Español

A couple of weeks ago we worked out to the Brahms Tragic Overture.  As a complete contrast, and at the request of the faithful Symphonic Aerobic members, we will be enjoying his Academic Festival Overture.  Both works were written in the same year, and are completely opposite to each other in mood. The Academic Festival Overture is joyful and exciting, and will be a pleasure for us to to get to know. I hope it will be included in the Symphony programme sometime soon.

On Tuesday 3rd December we will have our last, final, concluding, ultimate session.  We will work out to Christmassy music rather than the Verdi choruses and arias which are programmed for the symphony:

Vaughan Williams: Fantasia on the theme of Greensleeves
Handel: Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah
Orff: Carmina Burana - O Furtuna
