rehearsal notes 1/30/17

Present:
Elaine
Scott T
Jay
Sherri
Sara S
Sarah M
Susan

We covered:
"Heart of the Mother"
Boyce "Alleluia"

Try for more fluidity when you sing HOTM.

We worked on dynamics and just kind of reviewed parts on the Alleluia.
Be careful of ritard at end. Watch the "yah!'s"


Also I forgot (tks Elaine!):

<<

Listen to the files you received for shed a little light. Please be able to,sing along with your part as you listen to your file. I want to resume working on this next week 

If you need practice on the alleluia remember  there are are excellent learning tools for each part on line.  The link has been previously posted on the blog and is also on the front cover of your score.

>>

"Shed a Little Light" files are in Dropbox - you all should have received access notices via email - if you don't have a Dropbox account I believe that Sherri said she and Jay could make a CD for you.

Paula in particular: we didn't add you via Dropbox b/c we figured a CD would be easier. Please coordinate with Sherri and Jay.

Sherri and Jay please yell if you don't have time, etc....

happy new year and update

wow - quite an unplanned hiatus here on We Sing's blog.
ahem.

so - jumping right in - we are singing the "Love Train/Put a Little Love in Your Heart" mashup tomorrow.

For those who could not attend the amazing choir potluck/rehearsal last night at the Fredendalls'...

some notes:

• we are meeting at 10am after all not 9h45
• we have decided not to entertain the idea of doing a repeat at the end at all - too confusing plus we're the postlude so people might be wanting to get out of there, 
• only other new issue is please watch dynamics - I am at work so I cannot tell you which measures but basically we want to start significantly softer when we switch to:

• the "put a little love" one-page repeat section (the one with the rhythm we have found challenging :)
• and also when we start the actual "put a little love in your heart" section ("take a good look around"?) 
• also at the beginning start a bit less raucously - more cohesive

I'll try to remem to input measure numbers when I get home unless anyone wants to text them to me and I can edit this here at work - we are pretty dead today.

see y'all tomorrow!

I think this might be the first blogpost since I added Sarah M and Scott T to the bloglist so a huge WELCOME and THANK YOU  to both of you again for joining us!
