Agenda for Nov. 23, 6-8:30pm:

What a nice rehearsal last night! It was good to hear Messiah sounding so solid and even better to hear Bach coming together. 

Here's the plan for Sunday

6-6:10 warmup
10-25 Amen
25-40 And He Shall, working melismas under tempo
40-50 Hallelujah, working towards elegance, not singing like beasts
50-7:05 Bach III

• C & E melismas under tempo for note accuracy

5-20 Bach III

• opening, A, B, D, F: focusing on vocal quality & blend

20-30 BREAK

30-40 Run Bach III

40-55 Bach I

• E & G & H melismas under tempo for note accuracy

As you can see, we'll be skipping most of the Messiah movements this Sunday. No worries! You sounded great on them last night--but don't leave them out of your practice agenda for the next two weeks.
