Concert Choir, Friday 9/23/16

Rehearsal Notes and Assignments:
Danny Boy- Pages 1-4 (whole song)
     Crescendo on 'Boy' in measure 1
     Hairpin (or gang sign) crescendo and decrescendo in measure 2 on calling
     Altos make sure you're loud especially when resolving chords like on measure 4
     Tall vowels and don't be overpowering... the song is a lullaby type volume and tone
My Bonny Lass- Pages 2-3 measures 1-13
     Tone is light and bouncy! Don't sound sad and tired :(
     Try to be more staccato sounding on the falalas and don't drag it out
     Pay attention to dynamics
     Tall vowels especially on "smileth"
Prayer of the Children- Pages 5-6 measures 26-32
     Close to mmm sound on dohm each time
     Utilize energetic intensity through measure 29
     Basses BE LOUD!
     All voice parts be confident on your pitches
I'm Gonna Sing 'Til The Spirit Moves In My Heart- Pages 1-3 measures 1-20
     Tenors practice measures 1-10 using head voice... think high!
     Timing for this song can be tricky so work on your voice part
     Accent notes with the accent marks
     Don't forget the 16th rest!!!

No Theory

No Sight Singing
