We're back at it again - a new program which we need to get ready in four rehearsals - now three. I can't impress on all of you enough that we will need every minute of rehearsal time in ouder to prepare for our half of the concert. Next week you will receive the two missing scores: Mid Winter (Chilcott) and Es Ist Ein Ros (Sandstrom) and I will add both pieces into the rehearsal list. I would ask that everyone come next week with the following pieces well learned:
Magnificat - Ruth Watson Henderson
Thou Shalt Know Him - Sirett
There Is No Rose - Jeff Enns
Huron Carol - Robert Anderson
Dormi Jesu - E. Daly
I Saw Three Ships - arr. D. Willcocks
I would like to know by next Tuesday if you are interested in any of the following solos. If I don't hear from any of you I will choose whose voice is best suited for the particular solo. Send me a quick email to confirm and we can set up audition times.
Magnificat - Henderson - soprano solo P. 6 m. 46-53. Note the mm of 72 - requires good breath control!
I Saw Three Ships - soprano solo vs. 1, 3, 5; tenor solo vs. 2 & 4)
Once In Royal David's City (vs. 1 sung by Xara soprano soloist)
Christmas Angel - (will be sung by Sheena H.)
You also have a press release sent to you by Jill Rafuse. Please send it far and wide to all your friends, family and choral contacts. Think about including the poster - we will also have it next week in hard copy. This is a concert we can sell out with everyone spreading the word. Also, if you have a suggestion of a choir we can target, invite and offer discounted tickets, please email Tenille or Marsha (our Board Chair) with your suggestion. The thought is to continue to build audience.
Finally a thank you again for all your wonderful concert on Saturday night. It was a magical way to begin our 25th anniversary season. See you next Tuesday. Have a great long weekend!
