Learned lots of new pieces so a bit of note bashing.

1) Two dances from Le Bourgeois de Ballet (Lully)
Both will involve guitar and cello accompaniment and a male solo.

2nd Entree de Ballet
Light and bouncy
Choir comes on page 2 half way down.  "No, no, no" should be staccato
The other lines are pushy legato if you get what that means,

3rd Entree de Ballet
Main thing to note are the dynamics on page 3 (p64)
Piglar schiaboloa - first time Forte second Piano.  Carry on forte,
piano like that til p4 (p65) second bar is forte and all bars forte
from that point onwards.  Last bar a bit shouty.

2) Dilmano Dilbero
Women only, Bulgarian
Tricky syncopated rhythmn.  We recognised this as must have done the
first few bars for fun once with Ollie.

3) Abendlied-
German piece suggested by Sebastien.  Very beautiful piece, lots of
high sop notes (tricky, i found!)
We did the German pronunciation -
b at end of word is p
w is v
d at end of word is t
sich - can't describe it; bit like "sh" but not really; we struggled
with it for a while
