Say Something

We did an overall sing of this piece. Pay particular attention to the rhythms because this is a pop song.

Vuelie

PS This is pronounced Voo-eh-lee-eh ;-)

“J” is pronounced as a “y”

Vowels are mainly Latin-esque

Lanterns

3-part split when there are only two parts written (Sop 2s sing the Alto line)

3-part split when there are three parts written (this means that Sop 2s in a 2-part split will sometimes sing the bottom of the Sop line, and sometimes the top of the Alto line - let me know if this is confusing!)

Stig In, Lucia, Stig In

6-part split

Straight tone with intention (not breathy, but not loud)
