Dear Singers
We did some very productive work last night. We are grinding toward our goal.
Some notes…
Notes
Definition of Beauty IV
- Obviously, take another look at these notes. It was shaky, but good last night
- Cresc. mm 96 – 98
Choose Something Like a Star
- mm 72 – 80 is one looooong cresc.
- Plan a way to avoid taking a breath in the obvious places throughout this section
- Make the “a” of “and” a little taller. Not “a” is in “blatty”
Crows and Clusters
- I know what it says, but please open your mouth a bit on the bzz’es mm 70 – 72
- SA can get their pitch at 73 from the piano part. She plays the A over and over again. Basses can get it from the piano in the measure before–her notes ascend to yours. Tenors (heh, heh) practice!
- We will drill the pitches for the chord at 90. You should too. Luckily we have sectionals coming up. I’m marking that spot right now.
Nootka
- We will run this many times. We need to get used to all the transitions and the flow of the piece.
- Take an extra look at mm 31 – 42
Boy
- We have gotten over the hard parts of this song. We will easily finish it next time.
