Hello Everyone,
Happy New Year!
Attached is the seating chart (revised, as in follow-up e-mail) for tomorrow’s rehearsal. I heard from some of you that you would appreciate the support of being able to better hear your part so that you could sing out with more confidence so I have arranged us in small groups of like parts across the rows. I wasn’t always able to achieve neighbors on the 8-part upper/lower divisi but did the best I could. We will still have an overall mixed formation so that hopefully, everyone will still be able to enjoy hearing all of the parts.
In listening to the recording I made of our last rehearsal, I am definitely hearing continued ‘mystery notes’ and I hope that this semi-mixed formation will help get everyone consistently on correct pitches.
I am looking forward to our final rehearsals as we lead up to our concert and plan to focus primarily on expressive elements. Hope everyone has their translations written in their scores!
Thanks for all of your hard work thus far and the work (FUN!) yet to come this month.
Cheers!
Laura
