Rehearsal agenda for 10/5 and more on 11/29 call time

You'll see that yesterday's post updated the 11/29 rehearsal schedule. It is very likely that the chorus will be called in later than 1:30 so that you won't be sitting through the entire instrumental rehearsal. I'll keep you posted, but I'm hoping for 2:30.

Here's the plan for Sunday:

  • 6-6:10 warmup
  • 10-20 Bach I, A & B
  • 20-30 Bach I, C
  • 30-35 Bach I, D
  • 35-40 Bach I, F
  • 40-50 Bach I, H
  • 50-7pm Bach III, E
  • 7-7:10 Bach III, G
  • 10-20 BREAK and soprano meeting to determine S1 & S2 assignments
  • 20-30 Bach I, E
  • 30-40 Bach I, G
  • 40-55 Bach III, beginning up to C
  • 55-8pm Bach III, D
  • 8pm-8:10 Bach III, F
  • 10-30 Amen
You'll notice that I'm jumping around a lot in this reading rehearsal. That's because we'll be reading in groupings of like sections. It's a good idea to think of this as you prepare.

What are the most difficult spots in Bach? If you don't have much time to prepare, what is the very least you should look at before this rehearsal? I suggest that you pay closest attention to:
  • Bach I: E, G
  • Bach III: C, E
Keep those sections in mind throughout all of our fall rehearsals. Bach is never easy, but he is always rewarding. See you Sunday!
