Hi everyone,

Just a few thoughts for the weekend as we prepare for another week together.  The repertoire is well underway for the concert on December 9th. Some thoughts as you prepare for Thursday:

- practice speaking the French in Noel Canadien.  Get the "sound" of the rhythm of the language in your ears.  Pay close attention to Cable's dynamics and know where they are going before you arrive there.  This piece needs to be completely learned on Tuesday as we only have two more rehearsals together before concert week.

-I will email you a really good recording of First Snow.  Please listen to it for the shape of the piece.

- sopranos please know descant for "Once In Royal David's City with the corrections I emailed you earlier in the week.

Everyone please be aware of the short time frame until the concert and take personal responsibility to have everything learned this week.

Have a great weekend.
