Meeting Sunday Septmber 4th, 2005 (Wedding Performance Team)
Sunday September 4th - at South Boston
Attendees: Alex, Dev, Glenn, Martin, Mary Beth, Victor
Victor and I arrive at about the same time, and set up six spaces (in the hopes that Dev will be able to attend). Victor and I begin to look at Invention #10. We work through the first page with some successs, and begin the second when Glenn and MB arrive. They set up and we work a bit more on #10 when Martin arrives. Finally, Dev arrives and the team is complete for the evening.
We begin looking a the available repertoire for the wedding:
Eye of the Needle
Hope (now available with Dev for fast circulations and backup arpeggiating)
Invocation
Growing Circle
We take another look at Invention #10, and split into sections for more concentrated work. After rejoining, we try again, and pare down to a quartet, and finally to a duo. It seems that this piece will work well as either a duo or a circulated piece, but does not seem to work at the moment as a group piece played in this manner. It is still noted as good work to do.
More potential repertoire run:
Third Relation
Moving Force
Circulations: In G; G, D; G, D, C; F, D
We ended the meeting with some discussion of Ben Bennett, which led to some observations and notions about a Leader and the Group, the hazards of the Leader projecting onto the Group, or the Group taking on the processes of the leader. Also, some possible ways to avoid this. Some notions offered about Teachers and Students, and how while some may have been more in contact with the Whole, they were still human, as well as the idea that the Teacher's path is their best guess at the time, and that the best teachers will not usually say "the way I got here is the way you must travel", or "here are the six steps you must take", but through their experience will help the Student make some guesses that work for them.
Some final thoughts on how the sense of pride in accomplishment can destroy the accomplishment (and the true Joy at its heart), as guilt can destroy progress. Perhaps the idea that when we miss a note, that instead of guilt, when we truly feel remorse at the missed note, we might be headed in the right direction.
