Pro Arte/Cavalieri
Mass for Three Voices: Please finish learning notes and rhythms for the Sanctus and Agnus Dei! We perform these pieces on March 18th! Practice counting while singing your part, singing on solfege syllables for tuning, and singing with the text while carefully thinking about rhythm. I will hear one, possible two, on a part next week. Remember to use the recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Am1PQ0p39w
Remember to give slight crescendos on longer note values. Also, remember to lift on dots and repeated notes.
Continue to review the Kyrie and Gloria. Practice the same way that has been suggested above.
