Recap from Ben Thapa following 24/10 rehearsal:
Great turnout on Tuesday and very productive rehearsal. I was really encouraged by the way people took to the Tallis: I felt that people were really invested in it, and the speed of learning was also very promising!
As well as the Tallis we worked on The Messiah’s Since by man came death & And the glory of the Lord. Remember look up ahead of cues, crescendo through long notes and get the scaffolding set up when approaching the high notes.
Next week I’d like to focus on the Hallelujah chorus please, plus recapping things we’ve looked at up til now!
MUSIC FOR NEXT TUESDAY 31/10 (no new music):
Please bring the following music to next week’s rehearsal:
1.Thomas Tallis – If ye love me
2.Handel’s Messiah –
And the glory of the lord
Since by man came death

4. Mozart, Ave Verum Corpus
