First Rehearsal Posted on January 16, 2013January 21, 2013 From Dr. Whitmire: Dear Singers- -What a glorious first rehearsal we had last night! There was a wonderful, joyous feeling in the room, and you sounded fantastic. -We had a great group of new members. If any of you felt lost or overwhelmed at all, I encourage you to give yourself time to get into the swing of things. I know it takes time. Once you have listened to your CDs, let me know if you need extra help. We have a number of singers who are excellent tutors. We are very happy you are with us. -For this week please use your CDs to learn the five spirituals. I would like you to just listen to the Britten and soak up the musical language. Your might want to read along with the translation I put in the front of your choral score. When you are ready, you might want to learn #7.
