More. Notes #2
Ave regina
Basses - Ping out the D to G eg last bar first line page 2.
Salve porta needs to be more secure.
Don't get turgid. This should dance and needs energy.
Sopranos - page 9, your quavers need to be cheekier (!). Hit the first note of each bar.
All - we have fast forwarded 100 years from Se del. Thus needs energy and bounce from the very first beat.
Long lines of quavers should build, start p. They need to pop out. Once done, back off. Keep them energised.
Daniel
Basses - support is needed at 59/60.
Tenors - make your E# slightly more falsetto. Really go for 'That Hebrew Daniel'.
A bit flat on the end of the big chord bar 59. Listen to others.
Altos - brighter on way down bar 52. More A needle from seconds in the final chord.
All - crescendo on the paused note at 44.
Peacock
Basses - know when to get off your chromatic scale bar 18.
Learn the tenor line bars 30/31 to get your note for entry on Ah.
Bottom of page 6, sing with confidence especially on ah. Don't scoop.
Tenors - Eb always flat at '...drop down hail..'
I saw a flame...notes.
Bar 30 rrraging should be characterful. Go for the rolled r. You can probably get away with a bit of fudging on this one.
Altos - bar 8, make sure to get up to the B.
Don't be late bar 55 a flame.
Sopranos - 'I saw a peacock..' the notes are not quite right. Bb on peacock not B natural.
Bars 11/12 there is no D# on 2nd a-round. Make a difference between D and C natural.
Bars 50-51, utilise the crescendo. It sounds scared at the moment.
Try to connect 'of fire' bars 52-3 (A# - high G) as much as possible.
All - the overall shape is better but bits are being glossed over in the inner parts. Remember this piece is full of the unexpected. Many intervals are bigger than you think (many are smaller...)
Think that's it.
So sorry it has taken such a long time.
