Three of us had a productive rehearsal this week! We worked on the "Lammas Chant" piece. The final note felt more appropriate for times when the chant will be sung repeatedly, so we were experimenting with raising the note to make it feel more like the piece resolves at the end, when we discovered accidentally that the note as written and the note we were considering changing it to harmonize nicely together. We decided to sing the harmony instead of either note alone and got a decent recording. Our rhythm in the recording isn't perfect because this was our first time working on this piece but I'm pretty pleased with our progress! Also, we're considering changing the word "sacrifice" to "offering", so let us know what you think of that.
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.
