Jenny's notes from 12th March recording session
to remember incase we've to do any of the pieces again. And we might do
the pieces in a concert another time, but there aren't many cos I
couldn't cope with holding my file, writing notes and singing odd parts
at the same time.
A BIG thankyou to Helen B for stepping in at the last minute, to Helen
for recording, Anne for running round organising teas and coffees and
John and Susan for bringing it. If I've messed anyone off, I'll be
patronising and say we'd have missed you had you not been there doing
your bit!!!
LEAVING PARTY for TOM will be, if it's still okay with Susan and John,
on SATURDAY the 19th JULY. We can sort out time and details on
Wednesday. But for now, please put it in your diaries. Only two people
unfortunately can't come, as opposed to 8 who couldn't make the other
possible date.
NOTES, please read these as well!
Homework - Please to learn the words of EN SEULE fast so they fit in.
Tormis No 8 - Laulda
The breath marked as a pause is for RECORDING ONLY
Altos be ready to come in with kaik immediately and even though there's
nothing to sing, enjoy the rest and what others are doing.
Tormis No 9 - Kiisu
Good
Dark Eyed Sqailor
Forward mouths for a rich 'i' on 'it was a ....' . Think of 'sh' before
the 'i'.
Good entry from men - more p perhaps.
'For my...' anyone with this entry, make a feature of it
p.4 top system. Watch for the Rall.
'Oh, welcome, William' - animated - slightly faster
Another RALL at 'dark eyed sailor'
Lux
Softer 'C' on Calida
Cali - dah NOT cali-der
Altos - give it some on Gravis
No breathing somewhere, forgot where, but best for noone to breathe
anywhere!
bars 21 onwards, keep the sound going. Smooth. Probably no breathing
here either (What does he think we are? Bagpipes?)
Dindirin
Forward mouths as at start of Dark eyed sailor
Wasn't such a din, good.
Sancuts
Good
Amu
Did it just so we'd got through everything listed. Probably singing it
again.
Tuning was generally not bad.

WELL DONE to Ollie whose first composition (for strings) to be entered
in a competition, and played in public, was judged runner up. Some
orchestra or other is taking it on tour with them. It's brilliant.
