Starting with the groups::
The first group(sopranos): sound a little bright, need to fix a few vowels like I with the ah-ee and woe, late on “in that bright land…”, and they sound like individuals and not one voice.
The second group(altos): need to fix through and sickness(sound more together in pronunciation) and also late on “in that bright land..”
The third group: sounded like individuals and need to fix land and they were also late on “in that bright land..”
Individuals:::
First:: accented a few notes a little too hard but had beautiful tone and the dark sound
Second:: wavered a little bit, had the dark sound though
Third:: amazing tone, darkness, need to fix woe(a little too bright)
For the group I think the first section to sing was the best.
Soloist wise I think it was the 3rd soloist. I think she did a good job because she was clear in what she was saying and her tone was very pretty, and she had nice dark vowles. I think they all did great though (=
Groups:::
Group One: should work on right notes. Need to crescendo, more piano was great but not getting a lot of forte’s. Think of a wave. It start out little but grows huge and crashes against the beach and then goes back into the ocean. To which some people were singing wrong notes
Group Two: “way” was off not everyone was on beat, very dark tone. Ennunciate more in the beginning. *Favorite*
Group Three: I think most of them couldn’t hit those low notes because it was very hard to hear, but they definitly conveyed the message that it is supposed to be dark and serious. Crescendo was okay.
Indiviuals:::
First: very elegant and smooth and very dark tone but when, she tried going louder she accented the wough a little to hard.
Two: Seemed just a hair pushed, his voice sounds more pop, he slurred “poor” which isn’t what we need in this song. Crescendo was very nicely and had dark tone. Not “that world of wough” but “THIS world of wough”
Three: beautiful and great *FAVORITE*, only problem I had was “wough” which didn’t seem right.
