Rehearsal Notes & Assignments:
Festival Sanctus- Pages 8-10 measures 51-75
-Sopranos and Tenors are in octaves with the weird rhythm at 51-55
-Altos and Basses are in octaves with the weird rhythm at 59-61
-Remember to go back to page 4 measure 24 at the D.S. al Coda
-Once you sang through measure 33, go to Coda in measure 63
-Measure 67-70 altos and sopranos mark in your music that you're just going up the scale
-Time changes to 10/8 in measure 71 and only altos and bass sing there
-Measure 74 make sure you go up the octave basses!
-Don't strain on the high A in measure 75 Soprano 1's! Don't hold it either... it's a quarter note
My Bonny Lass- Whole Song
-Tenors don't speed up at the top of page 4
-Make sure you're keeping the 4/4 time everyone and pay attention to time signature changes
-Keep the light and bouncy feel throughout the song
-Tall vowels and don't chew the dipthongs
I'm Gonna Sing 'Till The Spirit Moves In My Heart- Pages 3-4 Measures 10-17
-Everyone be sure to know your starting pitch on 'sing' in measure 10
-Basses, you stay the same and keep the same rhythm
-Don't make the 'Jesus-ah' too pronounced it's just an afterthought
-Also don't over do the consonants because it's not that type of song
-It should be sung very dark and spiritually... it's a 3 on the darkness scale
-Circle the repeat at measure 17
-No breath at the end of 'till he comes'

*We got 2 new fundraisers today... the peanut fundraiser and the wreaths, trees & garland fundraiser! If you were absent today and would like to participate in either (or both) of those, ask Mrs. Patchett for the forms on Wednesday. GO SELL SOME STUFF!! (:
