Hi Singers,
It's November! Our concert will soon be upon us! Cory has urged us in very direct language to buckle down and work hard, practicing our music so that our concert will be one we can be proud of.
Last Thursday we removed two more songs from our folders. If you haven't done so yet, please remove "Never a Brighter Star," and "While Shepherds Watched Their Flocks."
This Thursday, November 6, is the absolute deadline for knowing your parts on every song. If you do not know your part, Cory will be randomly bringing up 4 people to sing their part as a quartet. There's no hiding behind anyone else in your section when that happens! Additionally, he will be mixing us up, so that we won't be near anyone who sings our part. so learn your music now!
Be prepared to calender in additional rehearsals on Saturdays or Sundays between now and December 6.
Be sure to talk to people and invite them to our performance!
Okay, here's something kind of cool. This is the audio file for "Hymn of Angels," loaded into my editing program. This is what it looks like after I've edited it and neatly, cleanly spliced all the stops and starts together to form one continuous song. What I want you to notice is the dynamics. The taller the spikes, the louder we're singing. Look at the difference between the beginning and the end, when it's soft, and the middle, where it is loud. Even at the very end, where the line is almost flat, we're still singing. This song has some of the most noticeable dynamics of all the songs we're singing. I just thought you'd enjoy seeing it. I'm a very visual person, so I think it's pretty cool to see it like this.
See ya soon,
Karen
