Claire's notes from 8th August

Dark Eyed Sailor
Remember to come in at the same time esp for the hmm
Watch the first bar of third page and the fermato (I think it's a cheese...) at the end of page four- Ollie will beat us in for this so it might be wise to watch him...just a suggestion.
The tempo tranquilo (tranquil tempo) should be different
On page four ladies should breathe between gold and for

Gaelic set (not to be confused with Arran Gaelic set as it is...urm...completely different music)
We went through pronunciation with the ever patient Peter.
For agam don't place the emphasis on the gam cos it sounds weird. Sing Akmmm with a good clear A as in CAT.
Tha Bean - in bar 5 shia ban should be 3 notes- this changes where the words come for the rest of the line so adjust accordingly.
The whole thing repeats twice including repeats if you see what I mean
Bar 9 bring out the ni (did the knights not say something similar?)
There are two other pieces which went well and we just need to practice fitting the words in.

Magnum
bar 46 keep the volume as Ollie was bored esp basses
We will do the rits so watch

Sleep
Wonderful etc etc

Riverdance
Jolly fun

My true love
Make sure you come in right 'cos otherwise it sounds messy

Adon Olam
Sight read with panicked looks on our faces but was largely fine

DATES
St Giles- 4.30 rehearsal
Still waiting for Mansfield Traquair to get back to us
Christmas
Cathedral on the 7th - starts at 6.30 and over by 8. They don't want us to do anything at the reception (more fool them) and we need to be in glasgow no later than five.
