Soprano 2 Notes<\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Good morning!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Again there was concern expressed that we have yet to have a rehearsal with everyone there and Jane is now trying to work on the musicality of the pieces so she needs us there.<\/div>\n
(But not if you are wicked sick, cause, well, you know).<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Birds of Passage<\/b><\/div>\n
Been a while since we looked at this and it showed.\u00a0<\/div>\n
m. 3\u00a0 Whispery and soft<\/div>\n
m. 4\u00a0 All Gs need to be higher (I have multiple places Jane pointed this out)<\/div>\n
m. 16\u00a0 Lift (it's a G \ud83d\ude42 And crescendo a little to carry through<\/div>\n
m. 19\u00a0 Breath after “elms”<\/div>\n
m. 28-30\u00a0 Crescendo, decrescendo<\/div>\n
m. 30-31\u00a0 Carry “night” through to m. 31, put T on first beat there<\/div>\n
m. 35\u00a0 Carry “flight” to this measure, place “T” there<\/div>\n
m. 37 – 43\u00a0 Don't forget the forte pianos<\/div>\n
m. 44 (& pickup to)\u00a0 mezzo forte<\/div>\n
m. 49\u00a0 Quick “cr”<\/div>\n
m. 51-52\u00a0 Change – no breath<\/div>\n
m. 56-58\u00a0 Watch! Jane is taking a moment<\/div>\n
m. 63\u00a0 Watch. (It felt like we were not with\u00a0her on\u00a0the non-staccato notes). C and B should be light.<\/div>\n
m. 66\u00a0 Freely means watch Jane cause she is totally not in time. Also, no vibrato. Also, support! It was flat and needs to be soft.<\/div>\n
m. 71\u00a0 “aw”, F needs to be higher and half volume (unison with S1)<\/div>\n
m. 75 – 83\u00a0 Start soft, gradually crescendo. Notice where level\u00a0gets to conversational then full voice.\u00a0 It is wicked hard to speak out of rhythm and still count. I have no advice right now\u00a0 but we need to think how to do that. Piano changes at m. 81 so maybe that will help.<\/div>\n
m. 84\u00a0 Put an “h” in front of “ah”<\/div>\n
m. 94-95\u00a0 No breath<\/div>\n
m. 96\u00a0 “aw” and F sharp needs to be higher<\/div>\n
m. 97\u00a0 Breath, support<\/div>\n
end – note the piano drops out at m. 116 but we continue til Jane cuts us off<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
This Sky Falls<\/b><\/div>\n
No vibrato, in the body, long vowels, creamy blend.<\/div>\n
m. 6 “fah”<\/div>\n
m. 31\u00a0 True forte<\/div>\n
m. 64\u00a0 “flah”<\/div>\n
m. 65\u00a0 Breath, put “T” of “flight” on it. Watch Jane for it.<\/div>\n
m. 67\u00a0 Watch<\/div>\n
m. 77\u00a0 “skin” – stay on the “ih” vowel, don't close to “n” early<\/div>\n
m. 94\u00a0 Light<\/div>\n
m. 95 “flah”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Moon Bridge<\/b><\/div>\n
Work on this, per J request (demand?)<\/div>\n
m. 1\u00a0 In 2<\/div>\n
m. 14\u00a0 Carry “robes” to m. 15<\/div>\n
m. 15\u00a0 In 4<\/div>\n
m. 16-20\u00a0 Watch. Jane is taking time here.<\/div>\n
m. 26\u00a0 Breath after “mist”<\/div>\n
m. 28\u00a0 Start the crescendo right off, continue to forte in m. 32<\/div>\n
m. 39\u00a0 Don't forget to sing with altos<\/div>\n
m. 52\u00a0 Watch (rit, a tempo)<\/div>\n
m. 60\u00a0 “deeooee”,\u00a0 Quick “gr” on “grass”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Night<\/b><\/div>\n
m. 4\u00a0 Watch<\/div>\n
m. 11\u00a0 poco rit. = Watch<\/div>\n
m. 16\u00a0 Remember, breath after “gold” and Jane is taking time<\/div>\n
m. 19\u00a0 No ritard.<\/div>\n
m. 23\u00a0 Put an “h” before white, pronounce “hwhaw”<\/div>\n
m. 26\u00a0 Watch<\/div>\n
m. 30\u00a0 Jane is taking a tiny bit out of time, so watch<\/div>\n
m. 34\u00a0 Change – no breath<\/div>\n
m. 36\u00a0 Cut off with Jane<\/div>\n
m. 38\u00a0 “thee east”<\/div>\n
m. 42-44\u00a0 Bring this out,\u00a0 breath after “track”<\/div>\n
m. 44\u00a0 No breath into m. 45<\/div>\n
m. 49\u00a0 Breath after “themselves”<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Grown Wild<\/b><\/div>\n
m. 47-48\u00a0 Crescendo into “me” (m. 49)<\/div>\n
on pg 7 I have written “crisp rhythm”\u00a0<\/div>\n
Also – Jane got all excited when we were spot on with rhythm because the word “willingness” was clear to hear (and as she has said this is the climax of the piece…)<\/div>\n
m. 74\u00a0 Use the “w” of “one” to lift the note, not pull it down<\/div>\n
m. 74 – 75\u00a0 Sing through to “girl” where the emphasis should be<\/div>\n
m. 85\u00a0 Breath after “one'<\/div>\n
m. 96\u00a0 Breath after “wild” – watch (ritard)<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I think that's all – Have a good week and see you next Tuesday.<\/div>\n
