Soprano 2 notes - Feb 2, 2023

Reminders:

* Sectional next week, 2/9/2023 at 5:45pm at the church. Please come to as much of it as you can.

* Sponsorships are due April 1.

* If you have any recipes to add to the Choralaires cookbook, please send me to Kathaleen Rice at at kateen4135@gmail.com

* Remember not to sing too loud. If you can't hear the person next to you, you're singing too loud.

* For next week, practice Hey Ho Fiddle, Friendship, and Anyway, in addition to the rest we've practiced already.

A PLACE IN THE CHOIR

p4 box E, p8 box J, and p11 box N sop 2 have the melody

p6 box G top line sop 1, middle line sop 2, bottom line alto

p2 m3, p3 m12, p5 m25, p8 m44, p10 m60 notes on "higher"

BOOGIE SHOES

pay attention to the rests, especially 8th rests

sing with attitude

very little s on "shoes" (make it strong, weak)

p3 m6 don't slide on "boy to"

p3 m9 no "and" on "uh-huh, uh-huh"

p5 m20 timing on the move (go down on "oes", not "sh")

p5 m24, 25, p9 m55, 57 notes (it's higher than we think)

p11 m72 pitch on "boogie"

LINEAGE

dynamics

accent marks

rests p5 m19 pitch on "grain" (higher that we think, we want to sing the A with the altos) p7 m31 very little ss on the end of "sturdiness" p8 m36 notes on "sing", especially the D p8-9 m38, 42, 45 "ARE strong" and "ARE full" (not were) p11 m59 notes (clashes with sop 1)

COVER ME IN SUNSHINE
