Dear Singers
We solved many problems last night. If I haven’t mentioned it, I am very excited about this program. It is going to be spectacular!
Some notes…
Notes
Vivaldi 1
- GL – oria
- Make sure to make the “o” big and round–do not close to an American “oh”.
Vivaldi 4
- Take another look at this one. “Propter Magnam” seemed to catch us by surprise.
- Flipped “r” and, again, round “oh”
- Altos m 23: you are the stars
Vivaldi 7
- Don’t get lazy with the dotted eighth-sixteenth rhythm
- Then, by way of contrast, make sure the eighth stands out in the dotted quarter-eighth-quarter rhythm
- Review mm 40 – 53
- mm 78 and 84 – cutoff on 3
Vivaldi 11
- Write in the count of the measures of introduction. It is different from Vivaldi 1
Vivaldi 12
- Long instrumental interludes in this one. Write in the count before each of your entrances
- Sops m 54 – 56: Count before your entrance “3-4-1-2-3-4-1”
- m 73 beat 3 begins the meno mosso (trans: “less motion”–i.e. slow down). Don’t forget the breath after 76, beat 2.
Bernstein 1
- Review mm 44 – 47
Bernstein 2
- TB review mm 100-102
- Altos review mm 103 – 117. It is most important that you get to the downbeats on time! (whatever syllables you sing in between)🙂
- Great job on the last 11 bars!
- Sit afterward
Bernstein 3
- Quietly stand at m 16
- Don’t forget VERY different dynamics starting at 49.
Boogie Fever
- You look very good. Don’t forget to sing too.🙂
