Rehearsal

We did two rhythm dictation examples, which were collected as a completion grade.

Veniki

-sang on a staccato "doot" cleaning the rhythm and notes, not focusing on text

-sopranos make sure you go up instead of down in measure 32

-tenors, don't rush from measure 45 to the end

Lux Aurumque

-sang in section circles (soprano, alto, tenor, bass) to better hear one another, and listen to tuning and vowels

-put the "t" in "turn" together at the end

-"angeli"is a little off with intonation, as well as "calida". Releasing your jaw a little more should help.

-meet in the middle on how far backward and forward our vowels are

-don't add a dipthong between the "ca" and "nunt" of "canunt"

-tenors, don't have "edge" with your vowels in your headvoice. Keep your "oo" vowels as "oo" instead of accidentally switching to an "ee" vowel. Lifting your soft pallet should help.

-altos, try not to sing so heavy on "angeli" and generally page five

-sopranos don't shift your vowel from "oo" to "ee" as your go higher

-pucker on the "i" of "angeli"

Bach

-cross your 2nd arm on the second beat of measure one

-we stood in a circle singing this piece and watched each other doing the movements to make sure we were doing the same thing at the same time

Sight Reading: none (thank goodness)

Homework: turn in anything you haven't turned in already (music, field trip forms, stuff for the chocolate basket, etc.)
