We will be working on flow and how this relates to phrasing over the course of the year.  Phrasing in music (and conversation) have an ebb and flow that make them sound natural.  It is what separates a human performance from a mechanical performance. 

Specifically in this first concert, we will be using the subject of Contrapunctus as an example of a musical idea that flows through the music and the ensemble as each section takes turn riding it’s wake.  When we play a contrapuntal piece it is up to each section to flow into control of the subject and then release it as it moves somewhere else.
