Lacrymosa
DIRECTIONS:
-
This is fairly straightforward, so I am just giving you the audio for this one.
-
BEFORE recording, please listen to our performance to refresh your memory. I was not able to get everything into my singing on the recording tracks, but we did an excellent job getting the details in our live performance. (Link below)
-
Please do not record yourself singing along to the live performance...the tempo fluctuates.
-
-
Practice each file several times before recording.
-
Emotion/energy/passion cannot be fixed/added in Alfred's studio. Sing from your heart.
-
You CAN record the entire piece at once, BUT you can also record sections. If you break it up, please stick to the following 4 sections:
-
mm. 1 - 8
-
mm. 9 - 14
-
mm. 15 - 19
-
mm. 22 - end
-
-
I found it difficult to make full phrases without sneaking a breath. If you need to sneak a breath, please remember:
-
sneak a breath where no one would expect
-
NEVER put on an "s" BEFORE sneaking a breath - just skip it
-
Never sneak a breath where we specifically marked a "carry-over"
-
If it feels like a good place to sneak a breath, that means it isn't!
-
-
Please name your file as follows:
-
VOICE PART - Last Name - Lacrymosa - section
-
Here is an example:
-
Tenor - Stroud - Lacrymosa - Entire
-
Bass - Stroud - Lacrymosa - Section 1
-
-
Due Next Monday, April 19th. Please try to plan ahead to either use this Wednesday evening to record or to do it at a more convenient time. But please try your best to get it in on time.
If there are extenuating circumstances, and you need more time, please let me know - jstroudmcc@gmail.com - I completely understand how unexpected things pop up.
