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!!!
