Small
Group:
Good Morning, Starshine: we added Karen to the
sopranos, and while we were rehearsing, Pat and Jack punched holes in the music
I brought: The Wellerman Shanty and Farewell to Nova
Scotia- a couple sing-alongs in a nautical theme.
Choir
Warm-up:
We had a short physical warm-up and
some breathing and did a couple of new vocal exercises.
1. You Raise Me Up
Gorgeous! We’re
just going to sing it the way it is- no extra verse- and we’ll invite the
audience to sing in the chorus. (I added the chorus to our PowerPoint)
2. I Can See Clearly Now
We did it! We learned the ending, so now we’ve
covered all of this song. We’ll need some review, but it’s not bad. If Tabatha
has any time, she’ll get the parts recorded for us so you can review at home
too.
3. Walking on Sunshine
This is fun! We learned the chorus at the Segno @44
and sight-read through the whole thing. There’s a tricky bit on page 11 @102 with
sections overlapping their own melodies, like in I Can See Clearly. It shouldn’t
be too hard.
4. Sunshine Medley
We continued back-building the Don’t
You Worry section, and finished it! We could manage performing this, but I’m
going to hold it until we have a bigger come-back concert.
5. We Rise Again
So beautiful! We reviewed page 5 and the ending. We could perform this today and it will be wonderful, but we’ll keep refining it.
Have a Happy Easter, Everyone!
