Dear Winchester Orchestra,
Looking forward to digging in to these two beautiful works tonight. I have tried my best to come up with a rehearsal plan that makes sure people are not sitting around too long with movements that they’re not playing – it’s a rather difficult task because there are many combinations within the orchestra for different movements of the 2 requiems. Anyway, here’s the plan:
7:30
Durufle mvmts 1-4; 8
Faure 6, 1, 3
9:00 Break (trumpets and trombones released)
9:10
Durufle 6-7
Faure 4
Durufle 9
Faure 5 & 7
