We will finish learning "Exceeding Glad" (2nd movement from The King Shall Rejoice) and move onto the 3rd movement.
The aim for this rehearsal is to be able to sing all of the first three movements from The King Shall Rejoice and all of Shenandoah.
Hoping to do Sure on this Shining Night, which should not need any note-bashing. If anyone feels that this piece is rusty, please go to the rehearsal tracks to revise your part.

This week we will make a start on the 4th movement of The King Shall Rejoice (see rehearsal tracks). This one is a bit more challenging, so please look at it in advance.
We will also do Deep River (please dig that out of last term's music) and a new piece that I hope to teach by ear...

The plan for this week:
* finish the 4th movement of The King Shall Rejoice (Thou hast prevented)
* revisit Great High Mountain (new last week)
* do the middle bit of Deep River
* make a start on Benedicimus Deum Caeli (MacMillan - new music to be given out)

This week we will revisit parts of The King Shall Rejoice, movements 1, 2, 3, 4.
MacMillan - two motets (Radiant Dawn, Benedicimus).
Rivers of Babylon, which was distributed in the first couple of weeks in September. Please bring this to the rehearsal.
Deep River, Great High Mountain, and Shenandoah could be on the agenda.

This rehearsal will focus on the following:

This week we will tackle that fiddly bit in the middle of "Allelujah" and sing the whole of that movement. Please look at this in advance if you can so as to speed up the process of rehearsing it.
We will return to Benedicimus Caeli and work on the counting in that. A scan of my copy with counting written on it is in the rehearsal tracks folder. Please prepare for this piece in advance.
I would also like to run the following if there is time:
- Great High Mountain
- Rivers of Bablyon
- The Long Day Closes
| Event Date | 07-03-2023 7:15 pm |
In this rehearsal we will work on making "Allelujah" sound confident, and revise "Thou hast Prevented Him".
We will also do "Sure on this Shining Night", so please revise that using the rehearsal tracks.
And...
Great High Mountain
Rivers of Babylon
| Event Date | 14-03-2023 7:15 pm |
In this rehearsal we will revisit Exceeding Glad and Glory (from The King Shall Rejoice) and probably run movements 2-5.
We will also sing the following:
Deep River (do look at this to remember what you are singing, especially where the parts split into 2 or 3)
Shenandoah
Sure on This Shining Night
and we will probably have time to run these ones from memory:
Rivers of Babylon
Great High Mountain
