Practice Resources, from Ethan Hecht:
I have added new versions of River of Entangled Voices. All parts now have a recording that is just the part and one that has the rest but with the volume turned down on all but your part.

I also reorganized the MP3 folder so that there is a folder for each section. Hopefully this makes it easier for you to find your parts.

The link is https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B2owSCYcle5IdEdUWVZVcHVoX28

Everyone should now be able to access this just by clicking on the link. You should be able to listen to the recordings right in the browser window.

When you click the link it will download to your computer. This is a new adventure for us and we may try it different ways, so please let me know if you have trouble or feedback at Ethan@BoulderChorale.org or 303-912-6725.

From Susan:
These recordings will hopefully help you learn your individual parts. They are not fancy, and might not even be perfect, but are pretty close. Please pay close attention to both the notes and the rhythms. I did not do separate recordings for divided parts, e.g., baritone/bass, first and second soprano. Some of these are just for Chamber Singers. Good luck!

9/16/15 – Weekly Rehearsal Notes and Assignments from Dr. Vicki

Good Afternoon, BC Singers!

Thank you for a very good rehearsal last night – you worked hard and it showed.

First up: remember to attend “Vines for Voices” this Sunday. It’s going to be fantastic, and we can all pretend we live at Susan’s house. 🙂 Bring a friend and support the Chorale!

As you know, some weeks I will send out reminders to you if I think it will help you. So, here goes:

1. The main thing you should be doing in your daily practice (besides warming up) is working on the Brahms. a) Listen to the German from the link I sent you to the San Francisco Choral Arts Society.The goal is for the language in the poem to become second nature to you, and that will take a LOT of time and effort! Move your mouth into the correct positions – exaggerate for now. b) Learn your vocal parts. They are also on the SF Choral Arts Society website. c) Listen to, and sing along with, the full version on YouTube. I recommend the Robert Shaw recording. It’s important for you to have the CONTEXT of what you are singing. Listen vertically as well as horizontally. Mark in your score what instruments you hear. How are they interacting with the chorus? d) Put together the language and the vocal line. Be very disciplined about accurate pronunciation and moving to the next note at the correct time. Our mantra: “The right note at the wrong time is the wrong note.”

2. Work on your memorization of “Hope for Resolution.” Oh, and your clicks. 🙂

3. Chamber Chorale: work on all the pieces, and your memorization of “Tres Kantos” and “Tsosholotza.” Look, particularly, at the middle section of “Tshosholotza.” Please learn the notes for the second half of “O Sacrum,” and listen to “Song of Peace.”

Thank you!
