Rehearsal notes - 11th September
Rehearsal notes: Special back to school edition! by The Dragon
Lauridsen - Magnum
- Watch pitch throughout - this is vital (especially bass/tenor)
- Pure vowels, not nasal, e.g. in "sacramentum" and "prasepio" (nb we are going back to pronouncing this as written, not with an extended "i" sound)
- Sops: add comma at bar 45 before "Al-le"
O Nata Lux (Tudor book)
- Altos: watch for Fnat/Fsharp distinction
- Bass: Sing openly, don't swallow notes
Poulenc - Hodie
- Natus is on a downbeat
- MARK YOUR BEATS
- Keep it light
- Don't cut quavers short
Poulenc - Magnum
- Watch for rhythm and harmony
Dormi Jesu - Bettinis
- Look at this
- It is not Poulenc!
