Chorus Update for the week of February 10


Courtesy of Kate:
Here is this week's update and some chorus news.
1. From Janet -
Sandhya asked me to pass this along...

Daniel Parshotham Desmond made his way into the world at 2:12 on 2/12. Should be an interesting kid! He weighed 7 lbs, 10 oz and is 19 inches long. Mom and baby are both doing well and should be home from Yale some time this weekend.
Congratulations to Sandhya and her husband from the chorus!
2. This week we learned all of the Cantique de Jean Racine. We also worked on the Beatles Medley and For the Beauty of the Earth (sopranos watch - we have harmony). We ran through The Rainbow Connection. Last, we sang through our final new piece - the Armed Forces Salute - in 4 part harmony. Oh, and of course we worked on Pinkam - movements 2, 3, 4!
3. Homework from Lisa - review everything! Notice your trouble spots and don't be afraid to ask questions when you're clueless.
4. There are soprano and tenor solos in the Pinkam piece which Lisa would like to cast by the first week of March. They are not lengthy, but they are vocally challenging.
5. At this week's rehearsal, the men will be dismissed early and the women will remain to begin working on Girlfriend.
