Wednesday Singing

Submitted by Katherina Weyssin on May 29, 2014 - 1:17pm

Jubilate Deo

An easy warmup.

Verbum caro factum est

Three voices (Vettoria, Katherine, William) on the top line, and one on the bottom (Katherina).

We tried making the final line a little softer, especially in the "de virgine Maria" so that when we repeated that fragment of tune in the chorus we could make a contrast with more volume. It worked pretty well.


La Tricotea

Surprisingly good, especially after a break. The first time through was our best attempt yet, the second better still. Sometime in the next few weeks we'll try the second verse. We're hoping to perform it at the Bloth.

Alle Psallite

Moderate-speed, fast, very fast, very slow; and all good.


Stella Splendens

Coming on nicely.

We're fleshing out the plan for each person to learn (and memorise) a few of the verses. One voice can sing the words and another can vocalise the other line; or all can vocalise or hum quietly.


Alas, Alack (modern in period style)


Adieu, Adieu

Our first attempt. So far so good. We're transposing it up a tone, so that the bass line is a little more tenor-friendly (and the tenor line a little more alto-friendly).


O my heart

Always a nice way to finish. Katherina sang the bass an octave up; which works surprisingly well.
