Concert Choir, Tuesday 01/03/17

Happy New Year!!

Rehearsal Notes and Assignments:
-We got 2 new songs today that we will be practicing (potentially for MPA)
Omnia Sol- Pages 5-7 measures 15-30
-This portion of the song is in the key of D flat Major
-In measure 18, 'be' is a 16th note so don't sing it like an 8th note
-Strong 'd' at the end of 'sway'd' and 'staid' on page 6
-Crescendo from measure 23 to 24
-Altos remember your melody changes in measure 29 it's not like measure 25
-Below are the correct ways to pronounce the Latin text in measures 23-30 (write these in your music)
Omnia Sol: Ahm-nee-ahh-soul
Temperat: Temp-eh-raht (flip the 'r')
Absens in Remota: Ahb-sens een reh-mo-tah (flip the 'r')
Ama me fideliter: Ahma meh fee-dil-eeter
Fidem meam noto: Fee-dem mehm noh-toh
Hallelujah Amen- Pages 2-3 measures 1-9
-Basses start out with the melody
-It's pronounced 'ahmen' not 'ayemen'
-Altos have similar rhythm in measure 3 as the basses started with
-Altos remember to hold the 'jah' at the end of measure 5 for 1.5 beats
-Make sure the 'men' at the end of 'Amen' isn't too strong, remember to back off
-The rhythms tend to get reused throughout the song so a lot of your rhythms will be repeated

No Sight Singing

Homework: Learn Omnia Sol pages 3-5 in your voice part and be prepared to get called on to sing it in class tomorrow. Review and make sure you know Hallelujah, Amen measures 1-9 by tomorrow as well. Practice tracks are available online so be sure to use them.. I will include the link for the Omnia Sol and Hallelujah Amen practice tracks :)
