Never Gonna Sit Down 2/19

Wednesday, February 24th, 2010

Here is our recording from rehearsal. Not bad for February. Make comments on things that should be fixed. Obviously the sopranos need to sing more in tune (not go sharp) especially at about 1:48 and at the end. What can they do so they don’t push sharp? Also, what about the dynamics? Should our tempo be a little faster than this? What words/vowel sounds are spread? How about beginning and ending consonants? Can our audience understand the text? How is the tuning? What about blend/balance? Do you hear individual voices? No mention of names please!!!

Listen to the recording from 5/1/09 and comment on what we can do better.  Pay extra attention to vowel and consonant sounds.  What words are good?  Which ones need more work?
