Treble and Concert Choirs
Artza Alinu – Review mm. 5-36 – Practice speaking text in rhythm. Knowing that F is Do, practice your own part on solfege syllables (should have been writing those in during rehearsal). Begin practicing with text as well – pronunciations were given in rehearsal and will be reviewed at coming rehearsals.
Tosca – pp. 85-88 - practice text pronunciations (give during last couple rehearsals) on “Children’s” line. Work on how to fit text with the rhythm. Review top choral line on pp. 139 – 144 – Te Deum text.
Mo Li Hua – review text by drilling each phrase several times (a good practice technique for all music as we work on memorization).
Song of Friends – memorize.
Other pieces to review: Allahu Akbar, Hashivenu and Three Dominican Songs, No. 1.
Cantare (combined Pro Arte and Cavalieri)
We expect each singer in this group to make note of what they need to work on during the week.
We are currently focusing on the following pieces:
Tosca, pp. 85-86 and pp. 139 – 144 – Italian pronunciation and counting rests between phrases.
Baraka Na Wewe – please memorize
Mo Li Hua – Drill each phrase – begin memorizing.
Imagine – work on exact rhythms
Song of Friends – memorize
Sisi ni Moja – pitch accuracy and dynamics
He’s Got the Whole World in His Hands (Pro Arte) – review through m. 41. Study to the end.
Fey O! (Cavalieri)
