MOUNTAIN NIGHTS

Divisi notes:
·      Pages 1, 2 & 5 – 3-part (6-part) split
·      Pages 3 & 4 – 4-part (8-part) split as follows :
-       top line : Sop 1a
-       second line : Sop 1b
-       third line : All Sop 2s
-       fourth line : All Alto 1s
-       fifth line : All Alto 2s

Music notes:
·      Pay close attention to the [a] vowel throughout this piece
·      Dynamics should be exactly as written (take note of places where crescendos/decrescendos exist and where they don’t)
·      Page 3 : Middle voices should create a sense of mystic fog

Context Notes
Page 1 & 2 – Cold mysterious night
Page 3 & 4 – Building danger of bear’s presence
Page 5 – The bear is actually a friend

Movement Notes
Page 1 & 2 (see photo for approximate positions)


Page 3 & 4 (see video)
Begin forming the triangle clump following Ariana.
Step forward on the right foot first, when the Sop 2 line begins.
Forward movement stops in the second measure of the second system.

On the decrescendo at the bottom of page 4, melt back into opening positions (slightly faster than the movement forward)



TABULA RASA


Divisi notes:
Note : A change has been made to the original A1-A2-A3 on page 3 and at measure 75. This should mean that no Alto has to jump between lines. Please make note of this change if it affects you.
