Even more online resources!!

Dear Choir Students,
I am really looking forward to Sunday. I know that if everyone will take the time to be responsible for their own part, we could make it an amazing night. I have posted even more online resources today to help you get your part learned. Everyone needs to sit down for 15 or 20 minutes a day with their score and review the pieces you are having trouble with or have not memorized yet. Check out my links. They are pretty cool!
See you tomorrow.

Concert Choir
I have posted a bunch of new stuff today!
Jubilate- New Ending!
Cantate for Altos
Ave Maria for all 4 parts (your part played against the recording. It's really helpful.)
PLUS I made the basses a cheat sheet for memorizing It Takes a Village. Check it out. It will make memorizing a lot easier.
These are all posted here: http://drop.io/ConcertChoirOct19

Over the Rainbow is still here: http://drop.io/Rainbow_WonderfulWorld
Hit Me Baby and You Raise Me Up are still Here: http://drop.io/Fall2010PartsRecordings

Treble Choir
Brahms (including a new recording of the alto harmony!) http://drop.io/BrahmsAlto
Take me to the Water Solo Group (includes a new full group recording that is awesome) http://drop.io/TakeMe2theWaterSoloGroup

Advanced Women
All your parts are still listed here: http://drop.io/AdvWomensEnsemble

Chamber Singers
I have posted tons of new stuff today including:
Libiamo parts for Bass, Tenor and Alto, plus the recording for sops
Ubi Caritas for the Basses
Ah El Novio for the Basses
These are all posted here: http://drop.io/ChamberSingersOct19

I hope this helps. You cannot get it all learned at once, but if everyone puts in 20 minutes each day, by Sunday it could be really great!

Also, here is a new plan for memorization and confirmation of the soloists.


Treble Choir: All 4 memorized (except the small group in Brahms.) Remember we are using the first verse of Brahms for the full group on both the first and the 3rd verse.

Adv Women: We are holding music.

Concert Choir:
We are not holding music. Jubilate/Cantate/Ave Maria/Babethandaza/Rainbow/HitMe/Village.
Shivani Rustagi will sing the solo on What a Wonderful World.
Elias Kaufhold will sing the solo on Hit Me. (The trio is Daniel W, Sam H, and Blake V)
Jun Yeup Kim will sing the solo on It Takes A Village
If the men can get You Raise Me Up Learned tomorrow, I will announce soloists on verses 1 and 2.

Chamber Singers: PLEASE HAVE YOUR MUSIC IN CLASS EVERY DAY.

All men will hold on Ah El Novio. No men will clap. 50% of the women will hold Ah El Novio and will share with one
other singer. That other singer will do the claps. The sopranos will always clap the female rhythm and the altos will always clap the male rhythm. We will run it in class tomorrow. (Soloist TBA)

We will hold on Ubi Caritas. Keep your eyes up and out of the score though!

We will not hold on Libiamo, but you are stuck with a binder in one hand so we need to practice the movement and poses with a binder in your hand. Please try to memorize this ASAP.

See you tomorrow.

P.S. How are you doing on tickets? Attire? Remember we have an early call at the church to practice entrances and exits etc. 4:45!
