Rehearsal Notes:
-Today we worked on the following songs:
Carol of the Bells- we sang the whole song and stopped on specific parts checking notes. If you have a "ding or dong" make sure you close to the "ng" but still have a tall vowel behind it. Pay attention to dynamics!!
The Sleigh- we went through the whole song and it was pretty good!! Just remember that diction is SUPER important so people know what we are saying. It can be easy to mumble since it's so fast, but use strong consanants and have tall vowels!
Angels We Have Heard On High- we studied our music for about 5 minutes on our own to try and absorb the order of all of the lyrics and "Gloria's". Then we went through the song, specifically "Gloria's".

Rehearsal Notes:
-Today we worked on the following songs....
1. The Sleigh- We went over the end one more time to solidify notes and the 8 part split. Then we ran the whole thing at tempo and it sounded a lot better than before!
2. Angels- We sang the whole thing, but didn't have time to work on it because the bell rang. This piece needs a lot of work because the Gloria's are really sloppy. Make sure to work on this one at home.
3. Glow- Women worked on dynamics on the first and second pages. We also worked on making sure the song sounded smooth at the tenor and bass entrance. Dynamics are going to be really important for this song! We worked on where we want to get louder, slow down, make it legato, etc.
4. The First Nowell- Ran the whole thing. This one was pretty solid, make sure you aren't sacrificing the vowels for the consonants. Strong consonants are important, but when you have an 'r' or something, keep the space in your mouth tall so you don't accidentally chew the vowel. We also worked on dynamics!!

2. Angels- We sang the whole thing, specifically working the Gloria section and memorizing where our Gloria's are different throughout the song.
3. The Sleigh- We sang through the whole thing and made sure our tempo was correct. We need to make sure we aren't slowing down in certain sections. We also fixed a few note problems.

Rehearsal Notes:
-Today we worked on the following songs....
1. Carol of the Bells- Sang through the whole thing. Sopranos remember to stress the first note in each measure at the beginning. Altos and tenors need to sound like Bells when they come in, closing to the "ng". We also specifically worked on gradually crescendoing to the climax of the piece which is "Gaily they ring while people sing". One more note.. only ONE song!! It's not "songS of good cheer" we took out the S so make sure to mark it in your music.
2. Betelehemu- We sang the whole thing making sure not to slow down on page 5. We need to keep the tempo and make sure the song sounds upbeat and happy. We also touched on making sure we have tall vowels and adding some dynamics to make certain places really stick out. There were a few note issues that we worked through, but overall we did pretty well with that one!
3. Glow- We sang through the whole thing and stopped to solidify a few particular sections. One section we worked on was the "in gentle tones of warmest white" section going into page 2. We went over some notes because this piece is tricky and we also tried hard to fit the parts together to make it flow and blend more smoothly!
4. The First Noel- We sang the whole thing and worked on the part where the tenors and basses are singing alone. Remember that if "the" is before a word with a vowel or vowel sound, it's "theeee" if it is in front of a consonant, it's "thuh"

Rehearsal Notes:
-Today we worked on the following songs....
1. Betelehemu- We worked through the end of the song. Since we have been learning it in sections, we specifically focused on being able to put all parts together. We briefly went over pronounciation of the Nigerian words but they're said pretty much exactly how they look.
2. The Sleigh- we learned from page 5 to the end and then put the whole thing together.. once we are more comfortable with it, we will speed it up a lot!
-Class was cut kind of short today because a lot of us had club pictures and a good portion of us had Tri-M pictures which interrupted class so we just had kind of a chill day.

2. Glow- We worked through page 7 with this one! We reviewed what we had previously worked on and learned 2 new pages. Then we went over specific note/rhythm questions for each voice part.
3. Nutcracker Jingles- We sang pages 3 through the top of 11. Not much time was spent on this one because it's really easy so we picked it up pretty quick. Just a reminder, if any of the ladies ever get lost, just remember a lot of times the sopranos & altos are singing ether in 3rds or 5ths!
5. Angles We Have Heard On High- learned notes for pages 3-7 keep strong consonants, this song will sound super cool if it's really clean!
