Joie de Vive - Coming Up!!
And we're off! It was amazing to see you all last weekend at our first rehearsal. And, the sound of the choir during the rehearsal was very encouraging - you sounded great already! We covered a number of things during our first rehearsal: The first half of Fum, Fum, Fum, Away in a manger, mvt. 4 and 6 of the Gloria, and a refrain from This is the Record of John. A great start to the year! This coming week we will review and continue with the material above as well as start on a few new things. We will have copies of a choral reduction of In dulci Jubilo to hand out this week. Also, there were a few singers who joined us last weekend who have not yet registered. Michelle, our treasurer, will be on hand with her computer to assist those singers in getting their registration done so that we can have a complete list of our wonderful singers this season. This list will also help us keep up to date with everyone through our weekly updates as that only goes to registered members. I also know there are a few people who were unable to join us for our first rehearsal. The video of that rehearsal will be posted soon. I do apologize to anyone who may have tried to access our live stream last week. We didn't get it up and running until a little after 10, which meant we may have missed a few trying to tune in. We will work to begin the stream around 9:55 this week. I think that is all I have for now, I look forward to seeing you in the morning!! Stuart Other News!
