12 Sept Rehearsal Update

WEEK 2

The nights may be drawing in, and there was a definite chill in the air this week, but, after filling up on Penny's lemon and marrow cake, we had another great rehearsal session.


COFFEE NOTICES

We gave some more details about the performances that are now firming up (see Dates for the Diary at the end of this update).


As we're still settling into our new look COTH, here's also another quick reminder about our new email address and website:

  • New to the website: read about Elena's fascinating experience in music in her biog page.


THE SONGS

What's Up?

This week we spent some more time working on What's Up? by Four Non Blondes. We added in the 'ooh' section from the end of the song to the beginning before the first verse. Elena also added an additional chorus with a new harmony line to the end of the song. These updates have been added to the lyrics sheet and performance notes on our Lyric and Audio Library.


My Favourite Things

We started working on My Favourite Things from The Sound of Music. The musical score and the lyrics are available in the Lyric and Audio Library (note: lyrics must be printed Landscape).

Here is a a YouTube video of the version we are learning:



For this session, we focused on getting comfortable with the words and delivery of the song before we start introducing harmonies next week.
