U3A music group-
met on the 26th –september-and out theme was “Dance”.
We thought is an interesting selection-
We started with Bolero-Ravel-followed by medieval French dances by P retorious
Then some of Ally Bain Scottish dances.
Malcolm Arnold next-more Scottish dances-and Tahiti Trot-Shostokovitch.
Satie dances-came next and then The 3 cornered Hat-de Falla-followed by a minuet –Haydon-some Cotswold Morris tunes-by a group-Spiers and Boden.
Then we listened to a chaconne fron Dido and Aenaes-Purcell. Strauss came nest-the Dance of the 7 veils-and Nat King Cole-Unforgettable.
A tea break was then enjoyed with some of Glenys”s delicious home made goodies.
To finish ,we listened to-Pavanne by Morton Gould and Shostokovitch-Cheryomushki,and some French Canadian step dances.
In addition-Holst-Brook Green suite and a tango by Shostokovitch (again).
Our next get together is 30th October-at the O”Sheas in Stromness-when the theme will be-“Love”.
