​​​​Check/Practice the following moments in the Britten

​

1. Movement 1​

   1. We all need to be careful about the tempo here. Sometimes, as we sing, we slow down. This is a pretty quick song, the beat is 132! Google "metronome" and set it to 132 to practice singing his at that tempo, or use on of Mr. Singer's MIDI practice tracks. ​

2. Movement 3, 1st section:

   1. Check your memorization here so we all know which "domine" section happens 1st, 2nd, and  3rd. ​

3. Movement 3, 2nd section: Great work on this! Some new cut-offs: 

   1. "facimus" on beat 3​

   2. "ejus" on he downbeat of p. 95

4. Movement 6

   1. Check the final two passages, "Requiem aeternam" and "et lux" for the notes. 1-2 singers are singing the soprano line down an octave.

​

Solo Auditions Process: Singers will prepare the music using practice tracks and online resources. They can call in anytime between Thursday, April 9th- 27th, for these auditions, but they should only call in once (possibly twice, if you really mess up 😀) per solo.

 

Please do not call more than 2x per solo, otherwise my voicemail box will be completely overwhelmed with solos! Instead, practice the music before you call.  Mr. Young and I will narrow down the soloists and might hear some singers on Tuesday, April 28th, at or before rehearsal. 

​

Solo Opportunities: Complete your solo audition by Monday, April 27th via Google Voicemail (216-282-7887). Please state your name and the solo you are singing.

• Sunny Side of the Street: Scat Solo 1 or 2

• Over the Rainbow - mm. 18-24 or mm.26-29

• All the Way Home - mm. 10-14, mm. 15-19, or mm.20-24. To simplify this, you can just sing mm.10-24 and I will consider you for any of the three solos.
