Lovely to hear everyone sounding in good voice after the half term break.
We worked on the Wood’s Gloria and Nunc Dimittis from the new pieces for Passiontide as well as re-capping movements from the Requiem. Ben is really impressed with the speed with which we’re picking up the Wood which is a tricky piece. Next week we’ll be tackling the first part of the Wood, The Magnificat. It might be helpful to listen to a recording ahead of rehearsal, link here and on repertoire page (Music & Media tab) where you’ll also find practice tracks (let me know if you are having difficulty accessing).
We’ll also look at first movement of the Requiem putting it together with the Kyrie and Dies Irae. Keep in mind Ben’s tip in the Kyrie to focus on where each part comes in with the Kyries & Christes (the ‘dotted crotchet followed by quaver’ & the ‘3 quavers’ he mentioned).
Bring all music to rehearsal. Focus next week will be on First Movement of Mozart Requiem, Introitus, and Wood’s Magnificat.
