Rehearsal - Nov.13

Thanks for a packed rehearsal, Main Choristers!

• Attached is our practice video for "Dance of the Dragon." Please keep working on this so that our transitions become clearer, and our execution is as rhythmic and intentional as the composition! This is particularly important for our friends who were absent: notice where your spots in the seating plan are and plan to move accordingly! Looking forward to feedback from our choreography team, Sam and Aisha, next week. :)

• "Explicit Liber" - great improvement here! Practicing the middle (especially for our sop 1s) will be important this week.

• "Implicit Liber" - the middle sections of this are also in need of work. Please review.

• "Dragon" - Off-book for the first time, we had some significant moments of insecurity. Keep working on this!

• "Peace on Earth" - this is off-book for ALL singers next week!

A reminder that Dr. Edwards will be joining us next week to hear our pieces and give some feedback on our sound. HAPPY PRACTICING!!

TWO MORE REHEARSALS TO THE DRESS!!

Rehearsal - Nov. 6th

What a packed night, friends!

Some reminders:

* Dragon is to be memorized for next week! You were doing really well with the spot-memory work, and it was awesome how you surprised yourselves with how well you already know it!

* Please review "Explicit Liber." The middle section as of m.18 was pretty rocky.

* We used "Peace on Earth" to voice match and get into a new seating plan. Your sound on this piece is already so beautiful! Here's the recording from tonight to prove it, lol. More detailed work next week. Use this recording to practice and memorize.

* "Dance of the Dragon" - some good figuring-out today; more next week!

It was SO FUN to sing with you at the Family Sing! More of this to come in the new year... ;)
