Overall Note
The theme
of the day was text painting – during your rehearsal time this week, really
read the words to these pieces of music and find the meaning in the poetry that
is used. Give much more attention to special words (think about alliteration
and onomatopoeia!)
Snowforms
We did a lot of work today on text colour –
refer to your notes as you rehearse to lock those in.
Songbird
In your
personal rehearsal, please pay much more attention to variety in dynamics
(write in if the dynamic goes up or down when there is a shift) and appropriate
text stress.
Pseudo Yoik Lite
Check your
nanas ;-)
Practice
this piece with all of the extreme dynamic changes to get your muscle memory
working for you.
Snow
Christina
really will post her score this week so that you can mark in the groups of two
and three.
Here on These Branches
· Only breathe when there is a
period/question mark. NEVER breathe other than at a period/question marks.
Christina gave you all the exceptions during rehearsal today.
· Commas are acknowledged by a lift in
the sound, but no breath.
· Don’t sing through a rest J
· You can back off on the diction a
little bit, particularly with the “t” sounds
· A little less Alto 2 throughout this
piece (more buoyant/bubbly in nature)
· Look at your individual line at the
end of the piece to make sure you are tuning your intervals properly – use a
piano of some sort
Heaven Will Rise
Sounding
good. Continue to check the key changes.
