10/25/2024 – Another beautiful Friday!!!

I am confident that everyone has been practicing diligently for our rehearsal on October 29. Last week was a wakeup call as far as the level of preparation demonstrated. Even though we are a non-auditioned community choir, we NEVER want to sound like one!!!! We have only three rehearsals left to make magic!!!! Here is the schedule.

Warmups: #7 Miserere, Nobis Domine. I am including a link on solfege patterns to help you.

Love Has Broken Down the Wall

 (make sure you have a copy).

Peace, Come Away (Can we get farther than measure 11? Maybe We will have a contest by sections?)

Hand in Hand memorized (cheat sheets are allowed but no music)

Hands are Knockin’ (with clear diction and underlying pulse!)

He’s Got the Whole World in his Hands (not what you expect. DCYC does solo. Keith Hampton known for his gospel arrangements).

Review: O Clap your Hands, Irish Blessing starting at meas. 34, Hands by Hagen and Stroope

With Heart and Hands with organ.

As you can see, a jam packed rehearsal. Attendance is a priority with time running out!!! I need you all there!!!!

Have a great weekend, thanks for fulfilling requests for Blessing Bags and quotes, stay healthy, practice, organize your music and breathe deeply!

Musical hugs,

Marty
