Rehearsal Notes
-'Goodnight.." pg.1 Tenor split @ m.12. Ran/worked on pages 1-6. m.12 is the hardest chord to find in the song, please look at it.
-HOMEWORK: find note for "Goodnight" chord
-Here is the link for the practice tracks for your voice part (now all working)
Goodnight, Dear Heart: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B9cKLflidbZdVVFhbTZxaGJHVFk&usp=sharing​
The Storm is Passing Over: https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B9cKLflidbZdWmdUbjBxR25rWlE&usp=sharing
-"The Storm": m.4 ("have courage") intense, fast. m.8 sopranos go down on last note ("dark"). pg.4, m.24 - don't rush even though it is offbeat (hard to do). pg.4 m.28 notes are difficult, pay attention to those and look them over. Ran through whole thing twice.
