Great rehearsal last night! I think we've now identified what's truly difficult in this program. Those spots (like the end of RigVeda #1) are quite tricky, but they're short, and we've got plenty of time to get the program together.
With that in mind, I'm dropping the 3rd movement of the RigVeda set. (We haven't even worked on it yet.) It has too many divisi (unlike the scattered divisi in Vaughan Williams), and I don't think it would be successful without 80 singers!
Down the road, there will be auditions for some solos, so, if you're interested, keep an eye out for an announcement.
Here's the plan for next week:
7-7:15 warmup
15-25 review Mystical #2
25-35 St. Peter, pp.4-5
35-45 St. Peter, p.6, then tying in 4-6
45-8pm St. Peter pp.7-8
8-8:05 BREAK
5-10 Rigveda #1, p. 6
10-25 Rigveda #1, pp.2-4
25-35 Rigveda #1, p.5
35-8:55 review Mystical #5
