Have a look at Pete Shepherd's music web site which includes the stuff on jazz theory that was published in the newsletter, expanded and clarified (or possibly obfuscated), plus sheet music downloads, jazz musician links et al.

On Saturday the first of November Angela Elliott made a welcome repeat appearance. We did three pieces and the first two were amazing meditative, repetitive and rhythmic exercises. Angela told us afterwards that she hopes to bring some of her ideas about music and voice production into the corporate training world... sounds interesting! She is appearing in Cambridge with her group The Shout on the 17th of November. Some of us have already got tickets.
Steve Waterman next week.

ANGELA ELLIOTT IN CAMBRIDGEMONDAY 17 NOVEMBER 2003
Part of the Fast Forward Series
THE SHOUT
DEEP BLUE
SEA SONGS, LOVE SONGS
MUSIC BY ORLANDO GOUGH, RICHARD CHEW & THE SHOUT
The Shout is an extraordinary phenomenon. A choir of diverse voices and fantastically talented individuals, it has been called a vocal big band, a club choir, a vocal stomp, a dangerous choir, a choir of Babel, and a choral phenomenon. It is, in fact, all of these things.
Deep Blue is a semi-staged concert of songs about the sea and about love. Love songs with a difference: about falling in love in a sweetshop; about an old man caring for his wife after she’s had a stroke; about housework; about electricity; obsessive work & desire. The lyrics come from, among other sources, the Song of Solomon and even a packet of Love Hearts sweets!
Taking musical inspiration from Eastern Europe and Africa, The Shout use improvisation
and look for fascinating new ways of making choral music. Hear them sing anything from a 'ghazal' - an ancient form of Persian verse - to an Albanian wedding song with English lyrics and, amazingly, a song through megaphones.
‘A glorious celebration of the human voice in all its diversity’. THE TIMES
Learn how to sing with The Shout in ways you never thought you would (or could) using unusual and remarkable vocal techniques. Exhilarating and fun, and quite unlike any voice workshop you’ve ever been to before. Places are limited to 30. Book in advance on 01223 357851. 3.00 – 5.00PM TICKETS: £7.00 Meet in Corn Exchange foyer.
CONCERT: 7.30PM TICKETS £9.50 (£5.00 Concessions)
Buy tickets for two concerts and get the third concert ticket for £5.00
