Sorry this is late. I'm still playing catch up from vacation and two weeks with a cold/flu.
- I appreciate the work that you're doing so far. Continue thinking about ensemble: blend and intonation.
- For those of you who weren't there on Tuesday evening, we are rehearsing in a classroom in the hall adjacent to the church building, upstairs and to the left.
- Throughout the score (English publishing) there are notes tied to an 1/8th note. That's an indication to cut on that beat, i.e., the 1/8th note doesn't sound. For ease in recognition and precision, please mark out all tied 1/8th notes.
- Highlight and observe all expression markings (ex. pp, crescendo marks) and articulation marks (accents > and tenuto - marks) and words (Slow and solemn, dolce e legato). NOTE: Curious that Rutter mixes languages when using expression terms.
- Please mark your music so that you clearly see which pitches/rhythms are assigned to the Latin text as opposed to the English.
Evocation
