7/8 Chorus - Analyzing the Rehearsal Files

5/2/2018

 
This assignment is due on Monday, May 7th by the end of the day (11:59PM).  Late submissions will be accepted, but there will be a one point deduction.

Directions: 
1. Visit the 7/8 chorus google drive at ​​drive.google.com/open?id=1-cUp7JKxOU8AQFGqQk272nlv3BmwTnS8
2. Click on "rehearsal files" then click on "rehearsals 5/2."  Listen to all recorded songs.
3. Respond to the blog by saying you listened to all of the recordings.  Choose ONE song to write about in further detail discussing what your section does well and how it can improve.  Please use measure numbers and page numbers of the music. To receive full credit, you must cite at least three different spots.
4. You can receive extra credit for going above and beyond.  

Model Response:

I listened to all five songs.  In the song, "Old Joe Clark" on page 4 measure 12, the altos did not observe the accents and then on measure 13, we held "stay" out longer than the four beats.  The accents in measures 19, 20, 21, and 22 were done flawlessly.  (Obviously write more).
