Rehearsal notes 17 JULY
REHEARSAL NOTES
ABENDFEIER
Bar 2 The “a” in “Maria” is on the 4th beat and not the THIRD.
Bar 8 “Allen” should be all ONE Word.
Bar 6 Altos watch their B Natural. Basses don’t come in late, and Tenors watch tuning,
BARS 4/5 Altos not too loud and Sopranos not too hesitant .
ALL should follow the dynamics of the SOPRANOS.
PAGE 1 The middle system is still PIANO.
Bar 15 SOPRANOS Be brave with the top E.
BAR 17 Basses no Vibrato please
ALL Don’t be afraid of the consonants and the start and end of words.
BARS 17-20 Sing quiet and regular to introduce the CRESCENDO.
BARS 28-30 BASSES look at their section in detail.
BARS 31/32 Tenors and Basses emphasise this CLASH
BARS 36 Basses avoid SLIDING during your big jump.
ALL MORE “sch” in “scheinen” in Bar 38
Bars 38-42 ALL Keep the pitch UP.
OTHER PLANS
We started at figure E.
WORDS -learn these at home, and just sing DA to get the rhythm first and don’t think too much about the rests.
Try to be very METRONOMIC and always be aiming for the next beat, keep moving forward. Its easy to just slip into REPETITION. Watch out for the FIRST beat of each bar and try to keep together.
Bar 78 From here ALTOS should NOT slow down.
Bar 105 Page 10 middle system , remember there is some silence
START Remove the repeat signs from BAR 1. The start is very BREATHY and bring out the CONSONANTS.
NON NOBIS
ALL Use the accents more and PING off them.
TENORS keep the A’s in pitch.
Bar 41 WE want a BIG MF sound.
Bar 57 Diminuendo and bring out the harmony.
Bar 85 etc Aim for a SPRINGY rhythm .
DANIEL
Beginning Don’t let it be JERKY, we want a SMOOTH start, Sing all the syllables in “A-that- a-He-brew Daniel”.
Bar 10 Quiet here.
Bar 14 BASSES BIG Sound here.
Bar 18-21 “Daniel” should be very PINGY
Bar 28 “Long” should be half as long.
Bar 34/35 BASSES something or other, can’t recall what exactly.
NEXT WEEK
Yes, Prepare for the PEACOCK, and learn the WORDS for Other Things
