-pattern so far (not final): A(soprano entrance)ABBAABB (on the last B section it's only movement)

Veniki
-worked on dynamics and tempo (cause they need some help)
-come in strong when it's mezzo forte and your part enters
-when we crescendo, it needs to be more gradual and less of a slap in the face "hey we're forte now"
-we practiced with a metronome at faster tempos
-keep all of the top of page eight piano and become suddenly forte at measure thirty one

Lux Aurumque
-song without looking at each other or conducting to help with listening and our teamwork as an ensemble
-we need to work on staggered breathing

Bach (Come Sweet Death)
-we worked on clarifying the hand motions until the bell rang
