CONDUCTOR'S REHEARSAL NOTES:
As you learn the music and become familiar with the notes and rhythms, also ask these questions
regularly, “What human emotion is aligned with the text and music? “How does this phrase, this song,
this chord etc., make me feel”? “What do I wish for the listening audience to perceive during this song,
this program etc.? These questions I deem critical as we seek to create an experience for all involved.
I cannot wait for this! Learn this one on a non-sense syllable or count singing. Be in no hurry to add the text!!! The dynamic shifts will come quickly and need to be clear to the ear. This has to dance and be very articulate. Our tones will have to be forward, bright and resonate. Did I mention dance?
