Notes from Wednesday; Pt 2!
NUNS - We meet Thursday at 4PM for various
NAMED NUNS - go over parts for end of Maria
Marias/Mother Abbess/Nuns - please learn the proper way to cross yourselves. This has to be right. You're playing Catholic Religious! Here's a link to a cute video - Father Rocky and Catholic 101 Father Rocky explains The Sign of the Cross. https://www.youtube.com/
Forehead, heart, shoulder, shoulder!
MOTHER A - the blessing of others is done with fingers together, in smooth motions - top to bottom, then left to right. You don't need to 'touch' the points as if you were doing it to yourself.
MARIAS - make sure you're ready to double the notes at the end of Confidence In Me!!!!
MARIAS/MOTHER A - when you sing together in Favorite Things, be sure to cheat out so that we can see your faces! Don't stand perpendicular to the front edge of the stage, angle to the outside corners
SOUND - 1) Do not turn on any of the nuns' mics when they are singing as a whole group.
2) In Goatherd there is a duet between Maria and Liesl - @ M. 91 if you're looking at the music. Please turn Liesl's mic up to match Maria so we hear both voices.
ODDS AND ENDS I NOTICED - maybe only 2 clasps on the guitar cas?
In the Google Drive please find 2 short recordings:
#26 Rex crossover pitches
Gaudeamus pitches
If someone could carry a cell phone or mp3 player tucked in their sleeve, they could play these recorded pitches in the hall before they come in. They'd then have a fighting chance, eh?
I left out a crucial part of the 'crossing' pattern, that you will note when you watch the video. Prayer hands at the end to signify 'Amen'.
