Concert Choir

Rehearsal Notes
-God's Gonna Set...: Run through. "...wehl-come tehbl" (welcome table). Everyone needs an 'older' sound--you tell 'em what He's gonna do! There is a Forte @ m.15. "Hallelujah" = piano. Diction, diction. Basses have stronger "yes yes yes". Sopranos last "fi-yer, hungry, thirsty" GO DOWN A NOTE. Altos - good, powerful sound!
-Little Beggarman: Ran through the whole thing almost at tempo...roughly.
-Erev Shel Shoshanim: See section leaders if you need to know how to say the text. Brief translation: Song is about walking through a garden at midnight. (Ooooh!)
-Guided Theory Lesson (important): prep for individual work on Friday**. Directions:
Go to chorus website. Click on Ensembles,  homeworktheory videos.
If absent today/Friday, print out and do on your own. Come to tutorials if you do not understand/want more help with it. 

**After you have finished this activity - Go to www.musictheory.net , go to ExercisesNote Identification, (make sure you turn ACCIDENTALS OFF & add the Treble and Bass Clef)
