I'm writing a little earlier this week as tomorrow I leave for Halifax for three very busy days with the Board of the Association of Canadian Choral Communities.
Great so see you all last night (well not all of you - we had 5 singers missing, but you get what I mean) Isn't it interesting how it takes a little time to get back into scores we have left for a while. And with scores which the parts have multiple divisi, it really doesn't come together until everyone is present.
So with that in mind, it is really crucial that for the remaining two rehearsals, everyone attend, barring being hit by a bus! Musique St. Bernard is a highly regarded music series and i want us to do our best work down there.
For next Tuesday please prepare the following:
Many Winters - Enns (everyone review carefully; needs work)
First Snow - Holten (women need to feel every 8th note - rhythm needs to be sung w confidence)
i thank You God - Whitacre (m. 84-89 were insecure in the concert. Be absolutely sure of your part)
Benedicto - Sisask (clean up phrase endings; Men: ck notes top of P. 7 & open 4ths & 5ths in B1 & B2)
Ave Verum - Raminsh (review)
On suuri sun rantas autius - arr. Torma (review)
O Sacrum Convivium - Miskinis
Please note: I have sent our version of Many Winters from the November concert to Sean to put on the Choir Only page of the website so you can learn from that first performance. Sean or I will email you to let you know when he has had a chance to upload it. Please listen to it with the score.
Thanks again for a good rehearsal last night. Welcome again to Bill (B2) and Judith (S1)
See you next Tuesday.
