hey choir :)

this is for the competition choir, haha

you have to memorize ALL the competition pieces, and the rest of the cantabile pieces have to be learnt well, but not memorized. As in you don't need to but if you want to, you can. :D

We worked on the sister act songs then the O Virgo Benedicta.

for joyful joyful:
-we have to be sure and take not of when we come in at times eg, bar 26 and bar 44. We also have to know the syncopation and the rhythm of the song.

for Hail Holy Queen:
-have to take note of the * hymn style* and sing it in the hymn style.
-for bar 17;
[this is for sops, sorry i only got the sop part :$]
"salve, salve..." that part, you have to swell. So it's like at "Sal" you crescendo and at "ve" you decrescendo.
-for bar 19, the "ve" has to have a rounded cut-off.

for O Virgo Benedicta:
-[for sop 2] bar 24: need a smooth transition to bar 25.
-bar 62 "lis" has to be held for the full count.

thats all i got :P

*oh, and i dunno if you'll got this, but we have to be in school on Sat by 1pm :D
*on friday, you have to be in school by 8:30. meet at bamboo courtyard in P.E. attire. it ends at 5pm. i think. :) heehee
