Kids don't often get the chance to hear live music so we're organising these projects to get out there and really fire their enthusiasm for learning about music and picking up an instrument. The performances will be very short -- only around 30 minutes, and constitute perhaps a couple of brief pieces and a basic explanation of how you got interested in music and what you enjoy about playing. It's short, it's easy, it's flexible, it's enjoyable and it's a great way to get involved in the amazing work that CaMEO does --- transport will be FREE and you can organise with the schools directly for a time in your busy schedule that suits YOU. *** If you're interested please drop me a message - <a href="mailto:performers@mus.cam.ac.uk">performers@mus.cam.ac.uk</a> *** ab243 on "Violin And Viola Wanted" http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/topic/516#post-537 Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:41:13 +0000 ab243 537@http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/ Violin and viola wanted for Piano Quartets March 9th 2012 - Friday at 7.30pm.

It has become shorthand for non-long poems, for short poems concerned with voice and feeling, for poems that address a readership, for poems which are musical, for poems based on ballads, hymns, jingles, tunes, song, and hip hop, for poems in which a tacit or explicit ‘I’ speaks to no one in particular. These problems of definition are inseparable from more general issues concerning the verbal work of art: what are its extra-linguistic, illocutionary and perlocutionary features, and how is it made? Furthermore, what is the relationship between lyric and metricality? between lyric and subjectivity? Is lyric a mode of thinking? How does lyric address authority and the discourses which underwrite power? What is the relation between lyric and capital? The study of lyric remains in a significant position at the disciplinary junction of historical poetics, versification studies, musicology, linguistics, aesthetics, and social theory. We envision this conference to be a multi-disciplinary forum through which scholars from various disciplines—English and Comparative Literature, Classics, Musicology, Linguistics, Philosophy among them—address the theoretical, historical, and social dimensions of lyric. We invite papers that conceptualize ‘lyric’, as well as papers which take a specific text or historical focus. We welcome interdisciplinary approaches which consider lyric’s relationship to music, visual art, drama, dance, and performance. Papers should be 20 minutes in duration. Poetry readings will follow the conference proceedings. Please send paper proposals of no more than 250 words to Ryan Dobran at shapeofsong [at] gmail [dot] com before 15 February 2012. gwg24 on "Singing Lessons" http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/topic/512#post-533 Thu, 05 Jan 2012 10:44:24 +0000 gwg24 533@http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/ I'm very keen to have singing lessons.

The purpose of the Award is to encourage University students to develop their creative skills through musical composition and thereby to build a body of music written specially for Sidney Sussex College and its choir. Compositions should be appropriate for performance by the choir in a chapel service, whether evensong, a particular festival, a carol service or a unique occasion. The competition is open to anyone that is registered as a student of the University of Cambridge. The Award will be made annually by an Awards Committee comprising the benefactors, the Director of Music and a composer of national or international status. The value of the Award will be £250, reviewed annually, and may be split. Submissions are now being accepted for the 2011-12 competition. Candidates should submit a setting of the following Latin text (translation provided), written especially for the competition by poet Charles Anthony Silvestri, for unaccompanied voices. In parietes, lapides, In stabula caelata, Perfundebamus lacrimas Et gaudia oblata. Into these walls, these stones, These carved choirstalls, We have poured out our tears And our joys as offerings. Munera nostra gratiae Diu a"regabantur; Thesauri ipsi idola Ne quando venerentur. Our gifts of thanks Have long piled up; May these treasures themselves Never become idols. Auratas turres spolia, Evelle pavimentum – Permanet numen domini, Utrumne est ornatum. Tear down the gilded spires, Rip up the fancy floor – The spirit of God remains, Decorated or not. Candidates should submit FOUR copies of their compositions to Dr David Skinner, Osborn Director of Music, Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge CB2 3HU for consideration by the selection committee, which includes Sidney’s Composer in Residence ERIC WHITACRE. The closing date is FRIDAY, 16 MARCH 2012. The winner(s) will be announced in Lent Term 2011, and the successful composition(s) will be performed by the Chapel Choir later in the same term. amk61 on "Fao Beatboxers, Basses, Tenors For Fusion A Cappella!" http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/topic/505#post-526 Thu, 03 Nov 2011 14:49:12 +0000 amk61 526@http://www.cammuso.org.uk/forums/ Do you sing or beatbox?

All in revenge for the time his best friend Eisenstein left him in the middle of town, passed out and dressed as a bat... Everyone who’s anyone is going to be there. They just don’t want each other to know. Eisenstein should be in prison so he’s keeping a low profile, especially as police-chief Frank is also there in disguise. Eistenstein’s wife, having left her former lover locked up in her husband’s prison cell, is also keen to conceal her identity. Their maid Adele should be tending to her sick aunt, not partying with her sister. With the help of a bit of waltzing and copious amounts of champagne, everyone’s identities will be exposed, and their philandering revealed.

Even in death Fairfax hopes to cheat his accuser of victory; at the same time his old friend, the Beefeater Sergeant Meryll, believes him innocent and plots with his family to set him free.
