This is going to be brief, as I have way too many irons in the fire today to be even somewhat creative! Some good work on Tuesday so please keep your individual standards up there. There still needs to be significant work done on a number of pieces, specifically the Raminsh Slavic Folksongs. As well please take careful note of the rep list for Tuesday as I will bring back some pieces which have not been rehearsed for a while, and if you fall into the trap of "oh, I know that" I will waste time I don't have on Tuesday reviewing and reminding.
For Tuesday:
Ave Verum - Raminsh
Women be able to sing the opening 13 bars with shape and feeling - listening to the other parts as much as your own. This has been problematic as some of you are still unsure how to shape the long notes. Know your functions in the chord and tune accordingly.
O Crux - Nysted (performing run through)
Great Wide World - Raminsh (Some sopranos had trouble with these pieces again on Tuesday so please spend extra time going over your parts. PLEASE check the tempi especially of the last piece: if you don't have a metronome, use 120 = a quarter note as a guide. that's close enough for Tuesday.
O Sacrum Convivium - Miskinis (performing run through)
Northern Lights - Gjeilo (performing run through)
Totus Tuus - Gorecki (performing run through)
Psalm of Invocation - Rautavaara (review)
Please everyone, let's get most of this program performance ready before concert week. Here's wishing you all speedy recoveries and/or continued good health.
Have a good weekend.
