CONCERT DRESS
In general, our concert dress is all black for ladies, and DJs and black bow
ties for men. However, we add some seasonal decoration for the Christmas
concert, and sometimes switch to pastel shades for the summer concert,
depending on the programme — further instructions for this year’s concert
will be announced nearer the time. We will also permit a certain amount of
jewellery, but again, we decide how much is appropriate for each concert
individually.
HELP LEARNING YOUR MUSIC
This term we are learning two quite tricky jazz-inspired twentieth-century works, and you
might appreciate a bit of help learning the music. To that end, here are
some training files, which you can either play immediately
or download to put onto a CD or mp3 player to listen to away from the computer.
There are separate files for each voice (with both firsts and seconds in the same file,
except where shown), and as the Bernstein is in three movements, there are separate
files for each movement too. The tempi are not necessarily exactly what Robyn will want in our performance, but
should be near enough to help you get used to how the music will eventually
go.
To help you with your Hebrew pronunciation in Chichester Psalms, here are three YouTube videos to watch at your leisure!
