Rehearsal Notes

I himmelen

Vocal notes:

o   Choir 2 needs a fuller sound through the end of the piece

o   The “dah”-ers need to inject more mysticism into their sound (Nikki, Krystal & Devon this doesn’t apply to you), give more shape to the sound rather than just holding the note

Movement notes:

o   Be lighter on your feet

o   Engage your whole body in each movement

o   Facial expression at the end of the piece needs to be joyful and full of wonder

Revontulet

ä is pronounced like in “cat” or “dad”

Yö is pronounced “euh”

Pick-up to page 2:

o   make sure to keep the eighths steady and in line between the parts

o   start at a true mp and build through the page

Earth

This piece will be transposed up slightly

Note the special divisi for this piece:

Pseudo Yoik Lite

o   Resist the temptation to rush :-)

o   Shore up memory work
