Second Rehearsal Recap Posted on September 7, 2013September 10, 2013 From Dr. Whitmire: Dear Singers- -Thanks for another very good rehearsal on Tuesday. The Haydn Agnus Dei sounded wonderful, as did the Brahms 15. Zum Schluss (In Conclusion). -On Tuesday we will work on all the Brahms choruses. We will add the German text to # 1, 2 and 7. Please prepare by listening to the diction on your CD. -At 9:15 pm we will have auditions for the small groups and/or solos in the Brahms (#3 4 5 6 9 10 11 13). Learn the piece that you would enjoy singing. All Music Majors are required to audition. -We have a great group this season. Good numbers and nicely balanced. But we must do better with attendance. Of our roster of 86, there were 22 absences on Tuesday. I know some were still on vacation. All singers must either (1) be present, or (2) notify your Section Leader in advance of your unavoidable absence. -We are a team. We count on every player every week.
