Chris' notes from 30th May 2007

Thomas gave us a lovely warmup featuring Mozart's Dona Nobis Pacem

Very good to see that there weren't lots of last minute apologies, but there were still 6 people not here. Tut.

J'ai Cuelli
Quartet – remember to start each verse softly so that you can swell up to rose.

Dindirin (new song)
This is in a mode, but it's kinda like Fminor. It features interesting time signatures so be aware of Ollie's waving hand.
Sing chorus twice at beginning and end, once between verses.
Try to make the ¾ section on page 2 more 'interesting' as that's where the new stuff is going on.

Tourdion
Sing the S in chantons et buvons
Remember, Tourn, not Tournay
Scheme:
1: TB A1 A2 B A1
2: ATB A1 A2 B A1
3: SATB A1 A2 B B
4: TASB B B A1 A2
5: SATB A1 A2

The Puddock
Remember to keep your semiquavers light & bouncy.
Generally good, which when you consider the last couple of weeks is amazing.

Irish Blessing
DON'T SLOW DOWN

Rorando Coeli Defluant
You'll have to pick up the communal pronunciation as every time someone tried to be definitive there were queries.
This will be sung like a round with the Czechs.

Optimist's Song
"It'll be fine"

J'ai Cuelli (reprise)

Dindirin (reprise)
Scarily, it's more performable after about 30mins work than some of the things we've performed in public were after months of trying.

SUBS & MONEY FOR CZECHS TO CLAIRE2 PLEASE
