Arrive by 09:30 for a 10:00 start
Per Steph’s note, Moira says “for those pieces that appear to have no descant parts, I’ve written out the first treble part and put it down an octave so that the descant players can play it, though it will obviously be low on the instrument.

10:00 – 11:15
Paisible:       Sonata for 4 “flutes” and bass         AAAAB, A1 can be descant, A2 & A4 will fit on a tenor, but with top B’s regularly.
