Rehearsal Summary - 05/28/24

There were five of us who could make it this week. After warm-ups, we worked on "Summer Solstice Chant" from the "Chants" set and got two recordings. We also took a sneak peek at the Lammas piece and discussed some possible alterations to the lyrics, which I imagine will be discussed more when we begin working on that piece. We also did a very casual run-through of "Moon, Sister Moon" simply because I saw it and got it stuck in my head!

If you'd like to review any of our material, the sheet music and recordings are available on our Drive. For the naming conventions of the recordings, see the document in our Drive. If you're trying to practice at home and can't quite discern your note, you can use a keyboard app to plunk out whichever ones you're having trouble with.  (This is by no means an official endorsement, but the app I use is "Voice Training - Learn to Sing" by the developer Learn to Master. It labels the notes on the keyboard and gives you real-time feedback on what note you're singing.) If you need a tutorial on how to read music, this one seems sufficient for helping you figure out which note you want to find on the keyboard.

We received $40 in donations this week, which covered our rental fees for our next rehearsal, with a little left over to go towards the one after that! Thank you so much for your donations, we really appreciate it! If you would like to track our accounting, you can view our donations and expenses spreadsheet and receipts on our Drive.

I anticipate working more on our Summer Solstice song or reviewing some recent submissions next week. We can't wait to sing with y'all!
