Agenda for 11/12

It was useful to go through all of Vivaldi last night, if only to see exactly where we're having trouble. Did you know that we have just four rehearsals left? In actuality, that's more like three rehearsals, since the final one is a dress rehearsal with strings.

Last night, I asked everyone to starting getting his or her head into the Vivaldi. This is the time to do it! Please listen to the complete recording, linked to the right of this blog under "choral learning files." Please don't wait to do this.

Solo audition results:

• Laudamus te: Pat & Kim
• #6 Domine Deus: TBD
• #8 Domine Deus: Pat
• #10 Qui sedes: Pat
• Home for the Holidays: TBD. (Ed & Norman: I need both of you to be more confident on this. I'll ask you each to sing this as we rehearse the piece this week.)

At this point in time, I must ask you all to be at all remaining rehearsals for the full time. There simply isn't much time left.

Here's the plan for 11/12:

6:45-7 review solos with Pat & Kim, as needed; Juliana audition

7-7:10 warmup

10-20 Cantate Domino (review)

20-35 Et in terra pax

35-50 Domine fili

50-55 finding notes from #8-9 and #3-4

55-8:10 Home for the Holidays, with solos

10-15 BREAK

15-35 Cum sancto spiritu: working on all cues and entrances, but first working on each section

35-50 Still, still

50-9pm Zion (men)
