Dear All
An excellent effort by all at Tuesday’s pretty tricky rehearsal. Neavan is very happy with how we’re doing (we’ll definitely be doing those unaccompanied pieces unaccompanied!) and his only request for preparation remains at listening to the pieces while following the music where possible.
Music looked at on Tuesday:
Cradle Hymn
Where Riches is Everlastingly: timing critical – aim to look at Neavan as much as possible
Stars: this was the particularly tricky one, but really came together by the end.
Looked at so far:
O Radiant Dawn (all)
Where Riches Everlastingly (all)
The Rose (all)
Cradle Hymn (all)
12 Days of Christmas (first 5 pages, plus 15-end)
An die Heimat (p26-29)
We Wish you a Merry Christmas (first 5 pages)
