Well, having realised I've not been swimming for a while due to Claire's warm up, I took the boys. Aren't changing rooms minging? And the cubicles at our pool don't have curtains. Which means it's quite interesting for me but perhaps not for everyone else...hmmm. Anyway...

KANARBIC No7, Tormis

SSSSHHH!! and think of the p as pp
Men get exactly in tune
Women have the same movement as the men going on.
Sopranos - aim high
Sops, Alts, Tens - pp when Basses come in
Hold on FERMATA much longer than the basses
NOT need - n-air-d with an English accent.
Men DON'T scoop the mui of muidui koi kon
Basses - keep the d, flat but not too flat.
Men DON'T drag; count 1.2.3 and come in straight on the ainult Bar 12
Stay legato, flowing
Come off exactly together on bars 2 and 8
LOOK UP LOTS. There will be speed changes
Bar 16 - allargando means lengthening out

ON HILLISUVI

Hold the beginning chord on and support it.
Count 4 somewhere but it's wise to count anyway!
Soo-ve. NOT Soo-vay
Men watch dynamics - mf to p
NOT f at bar 14. Try mf!
Bar 15/16 - etulle enam - legato and softer
Bar 16/17 - a bit more energy
Bar 17/18 - quieter than other bars.
(In other words make a difference between how you sing each small bit between Bar 15-18)

O MORGEN

pp and basically we sang it like its supposed to be believe it or not!
Tenors it might help to think of a fanfare only pp It's the E to B third (?) system down

(Shepherds pie is burning. Hang on a mo)

AIR A GHILLE

Pronounciation. I'm not going to try and write it all here. There are a lot of different opinions as to what the tape was saying cos it was muffled. I'm sure we'll be going over it again

FROG AND CROW

Watch and think about the key changes
NB - we're holding on the rests between each section so WATCH OUT! and don't come in before you're meant to
At bar 16 make a difference between the chords we've just sung and the doo doo doo flowing legato bit
Come on shore - a bit quieter.

HEBREW LOVE SONGS - we will be singing in St Giles with another violinist cos bi-doo-ron ron ron - is away

KALA - Listen to speed of violin and piano and WATCH Ollie
EYZE - Helen was naughty singing bonk not bong
