Rehearsal notes from the Boss Lady

AKA Paige--These are the notes you should have received from Paige via email.

1. Everyone, for Monday—Have Bartok and Hebrew Love Songs memorized before you walk in.

2. MITS gig on Wed. JUN 27 has been cancelled. However, Choir 1 of Flying Dream* (see below) will need to rehearse instead. Time TBD

3. Women, the mass choir music needs your attention this week. I think you’ll find that most of it very manageable, but you need the information below to aid your practicing. The divisi sheet that was distributed yesterday charts out who’s singing what when the parts divide. It might be a little hard to read, so here’s a run down of everything.

Alleluia—this one only looks bad, but it’s a canon and very easy to learn. When the soprano splits 3 ways at letter E, S1-- H. Lowery, Cox, Harmon S2--Click, Brown, and Purser S3—Jain, M. Lowery, Kokenes Semi-chorus at m. 47-48 Lane, Brett, Quesenberry

Peace on Earth—Consists of an “A” “B” and “C” theme. Each time the themes come in there is a new harmony or a canon (you can figure it out). The eighth-note rhythms are grouped in 2’s and 3’s. There’s a semi-chorus “on high” beginning at Letter K-- S1 Brett, S2 Jain, A1 Taylor, A2 Alexander

Wanderer—mostly an easy 2-pt piece. Where it splits into 3 or 4 parts, the “extra” parts canon with another part (e.g. S2 imitates the S1 pattern; A1 imitates A2, etc) so there’s not any new material to learn.

*The Flying Dream—DON’T NEGLECT THIS ONE. Clearly the hardest of the four pieces, and very artsy. We’ll split into 2 choirs. I made practice files for choir 1. We'll get them to you asap. BT
