Rehearsal:

Ran all singing valentines.

Way Over In Beulah Lan'
-we recorded the piece to send to other choral teachers for their opinions
-breathe at measure 118 and 126
-close the "n" in measures 90 and 42 and the very beginning
-men be careful if the rhythm in measure 31, the quarter rest isn't as short as it seems like it should be. The same goes for sopranos in measure 50
-there's no cut off/break in measure 140

Sure On This Shining Night
-"earth" in measure 36 is the apex of the phrase
-working on dynamics and discussed which words are more important than others
-the vowel for the word "shine" should be "sha" as in "aw, man"
-there's no breath between "sure" and "shining"
-make sure to listen to each other so that our vowels match
-don't chew the vowels and remove the diphthongs in words like "shining", and generally throughout the text

Sight Reading: sight reading booklets from 2000 at intermediate level SSA, with sopranos on the first like, altos on the middle line, and men on the bottom line.

Homework: singing quiz tomorrow! Prepare for both MPA pieces.
