From Dr. Whitmire

(10/1/09) Dear Singers –

Last Tuesday

Rehearsal #6 on Tuesday was very productive. I am sorry that I didn’t rehearse what I told you to prepare. As I studied the score during the week I found some problem areas that had to be addressed. We did some very important work on pp.65-72 regarding breaths. Double-check that you have marked all breaths here and elsewhere in the Requiem.
