Jenny's rehearsal notes, 11 Jan 2012

Thank you to Claire for warming us up. Rachael is doing it next week
and Kay offered to do notes.

UNE PUCE

Sing the first line thinking of a whinge about a flea, to getting really
annoyed with it being in your ear

Rrrrrrrroll the RRRRRRs. Those who can roll rrrrrs do it for those who
can't.

sing - m-way
sing - n-oo-it
sing - me frrrrret-eel-yay-me mor'
sing - foo, as in foot without the t
sing - donn- air
sing - je t-ah ne pris (and sing the t-ah, nasally)
sing - coeur with an 'r' on the end.

Tenors - don't sing oh-ho-ho-ho
- suggestion - practise it la la la, then o, o, o,
copying the la la la effect, and staccato)

LINDEN LEE - New - Looked at

BONJOUR MA MIE - New - Looked at

BRODMAN AREA 47 - New - By Nikos!!!

Wonderful example of how science can be mixed with music.
Something to do with frontal lobe of brain - ask Nikos!

No words to learn! Just sounds.

Greek 'th's - hard, as in 'that' NOT as in 'think' - effect should be
hum sound NOT with 'z' or 'buzz' escaping from the 'th' - sing it MF to
avoid this 'buzz' -

Start very very loud with a crescendo.

First Ah.......sound ends in a soft 'ch' as in 'loch' COUNT
1,2,3,4,'ch' It should be a flat 'ch' not like a cat hiss, more like
the swish of a blade.

Bar 9 - is like blowing into your cold hands

SOPRANOS - A A A is NOT joined. Sing A A A separate A's.

(Nikos, if you want to add or alter, please do! Well done!)

SCENE IV - Lully - Looked at.
