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!!
