Music Notes, 11.18.2014

Some of the songs are really improving! Please keep reviewing your parts and words. All songs without music, try to not slow down and drag.


Ty Hart and Starlee- Fan needs to sing louder. Boy Scrooge please match her volume. Sometimes you are over singing her. Both of you try to blend.

Matt- Review the words on "Wassailing"

Fezzi Wig Men- I could hear you on Dancing Day! Now make sure you nail the harmonies and stay with the music.

Fan, Boy Scrooge, Belle, Young Scrooge- On the act 1 Finale, I don't always hear that a new person is being added each time. You are like Scrooge's memories swirling around him, you're part of why he sinks to the ground. It's too much for Scrooge. Passive soft singing isn't going to touch him emotionally. Please sing louder and more assertive (esp. Starlee and Ty)

All Men- In the Opening of Act 2, Emmanuel, there is someone on Stage Left who is off key on the unison part (And death's dark shadows..). Please either fix it or just lip- sync that part so I don't have to waste time having you all sing it individually to figure out who is singing it wrong. It's just the melody right there. Also, all the men are guilty of slowing down right there.

Sam- Don't start Figgy Pudding too fast. It sounds frantic right now.

Fred's party- harmonies are sounding better! Just make sure we don't start the songs too quickly.

Everyone- Montage!!! There is no "and joy". Last night there was at least two people who said it every verse.

Sailors and Minors- If you came in strongly on your verse to cut these people off, it would help with the no singing of "and joy". Both groups start singing until halfway through their verse. Come in strong!!! Even if your props and set are falling apart.

Everyone- Please sing in the wings on Conventry Carol.
Hark the Herald we start humming on Joyful all ye nations

Basses- Review your part on Joy to the World

Keep working hard and drink lots of water! These allergies are making everyone's voices funky, mine included. Make sure you are taking care of yourself.
