Hello friends,
Requiem Aeternam
- Cut-offs need to be precise. Some are still holding onto the tied 1/8th-notes.
- Make sure dynamics are demonstrably observed.
- E needs to be clean and fluid in SAT voices. Tenors keep it light.
Out of the Deep
- Sing the rhythms with flowing intensity.
- Sing the text. Let it inform your rhythms.
Lux Aeterna
- Should sound like a blessing (words of comfort) - so tone needs to be warm.
All of Us
- Clean up any pitches and rhythms between pp. 6-13.
City Called Heaven
- Highlight and memorize all dynamics.
- Write in mezza di voce (< >) in mm. 10, 15, 32. Note tenuto marks and sing them throughout.
- Sing last home with exaggerated "h."
- Close to "m" on cue in penultimate and last measures.
Evocation
- Write phonetic pronunciations of each word throughout the score even when repeated. Oh is an open o as in Latin glo-ri-a.
For TUESDAY, February 24 Rehearsal
