Sunday and Monday (Oct 16 & 17) Rehearsal Plans

Greetings, Bach Warriors!

I believe that we ALL got the message Monday night that Philip is anxious about our progress on this very difficult and magnificent piece. I'm pretty sure that none of us desires to put him over the edge by failing to do everything possible each of us can do to be prepared as fully as possible, every time that we're together. PLEASE work on your parts on your own. But in addition, we must have some extra group efforts. The more you work to alleviate Philip's anxiety - the less of these we'll have to schedule.

Monday, Oct 17: Early - Tenors at 6:30PM / Late - SECOND Sopranos only at 9PM

For all of these extra sectionals, we'll be working the last three choruses of the CREDO section: Et resurrexit / Confiteor / Et expecto



REGULAR REHEARSAL - Monday, Oct 17 - 7-9PM - we'll be emphasizing Confiteor / Et expecto - but be prepared to review anything we have previously covered.
