First rehearsal day at deSingel. The first two weeks, we’ll be working from the music studio. We start out as a smaller ensemble: the rhythm section Nicolas (bass) and Mattijs (drums), Nel on piano and vocals, Bram on vocals and guitar, Jon is there as arranger and cornetto player, Liam plays gamba and represents the strings and Pieter on Teorbo of course. We start with the intro ‘Rain’, work our way through the groove of Chrysanthemum Vow, which locks in nicely after a few attempts and we end with the structure of White Peaks, a challenge due to the length.
