Somewhere My Love met at 6:20
12 Groovy Days met at 6:50
Silent Night met at break
Farewell to Nova Scotia met at 9:30
Same schedule next week for small groups, except for Silent Night (You can rehearse on your own for a while, and I suggest you memorize the words. All we have to do to perform it is decide the order to sing in and we're good to go!)
Warm-ups were brief
1. Come Emmanuel- we had to review the ahs and remind people to sing "wai 'in" and "commmmm". Also, Sopranos have to be careful to sing softly so that we can hear the other parts.
2. Song for Canada - we reviewed the ahs and I suggested you listen to the recordings for timing. In particular, the recording of me singing it so you can hear where the words go. The timing can be tricky.
3. Banks of Newfoundland- we started with the last page and it was awesome! The sound you make in 6 part harmony is just beautiful! Please take some time to listen to the recording of this piece and your part before next Monday.
4. Magic of Winter- we learned from 5-20. So pretty (and not hard)!!!
5. 12 Songs of Christmas - we just sang through the whole thing again.
6. So Long, Farewell - we just looked at it, noting that we'll be jumping around in the parts.
Next Monday:
Banks of Newfoundland from the beginning, and reviewing the end. Please take some time to listen to the recordings
Magic of Winter we'll try to finish it. You can listen to this recording too, but it's pretty easy.
12 Songs of Christmas let me know which parts you'd like to review
So Long, Farewell We'll sing it through, sight-reading. Please mark you parts in pencil on your music so you know when to sing. See below.
